If it weighs one kilogram on the moon, it will have about six times as many apples as a bag of 1 kilo apples on earth.
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
The mass is 1 kilogram anywhere. The mass doesn't change.The weight of 1 kilogram is 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) on earth,and 1.6 newtons (5.8 ounces) on the moon.
On Earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 2.205 pounds. On the moon, the same kilogram weighs 0.353 pound. We'll let you figure it out from there.
Kilogram is a unit of mass, Newton is a unit of force (that includes weight). The two are actually quite different things (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight for more details), but on Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 Newtons. On other planets, the Moon, etc., the weight of each kilogram can be different.
The 'kilogram' is the SI (metric) unit of mass.24 kg is the mass of an object.The object weighs 52.9 pounds on earth, and 8.64 pounds on the moon.
Both would weigh the same. Weight is determined by the mass of the object (1 kilogram in both cases) and the gravitational force acting on it. The gravitational force on the moon is weaker than on Earth, but the mass of the objects remains the same regardless of location.
The weight of 1 kilogram of iron on Earth is greater than the weight of 1 kilogram of iron on the Moon. This is because weight depends on the gravitational pull of the celestial body, and Earth has a stronger gravitational force than the Moon.
There are six times as many apples in the bag on the Moon. This is usually used by the metric folks to point out that the pound is really a measure of Force, while the kilogram is a measure of Mass. (If the question had been 1 kg of apples on each, the answer would have been that they have the same number of apples).
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth

Because earth contains more matter as compared to moon.

A kilogram (mass) on the moon is still a kilogram (mass)A kilogram (referred to as its weight) is about 1/6 of it's Earth weight or 160 g (approx)Aside: In common usage we talk about an object having a weight, not a mass (e.g. Your driver's license states your weight). In science a kilogram is a unit of mass. Weight is what we perceive when we try to lift that mass - it is the force of gravity pulling the kilogram mass to the Earth. It gets a bit confusing when you are at Earth's surface because a the kilogram mass has a numerically kilogram of force (usually referred to as weight) attracting it downwards.
