The force constant is unaffected; It is a constant.

no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
depends on the initial length of the spring, and how much force is required to stretch the spring
F = - k x In this equation, x is the distance that the spring has been stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium position F is the restoring force exerted by the spring. k is the spring constant.
Spring was used to measure a force by the balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring.
