Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The gravity on the surface of the Moon is only about 1/6 as high as the gravity on Earth because the Moon is only about one-sixth as massive as the Earth. Therefore, the gravity on the surface of the Moon is weaker than the gravity on Earth, and it is Newton's law of gravitation that states that force is directly proportional to the product of object masses and inversely proportional to the distance square between the objects.
The correct statement would be that the object’s weight will differ on the Moon and Earth.
