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.
The force constant is unaffected; It is a constant.
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.
It means how "stiff" the spring is; how hard it is to compress or extend it.
It is Newtons per metre.
