There is great difference between mass and weigh.Mass being a fundamental property of a substance is constant throughout the universe. What changes is weight. Weight is nothing but the gravitational force on an object which is caused by some celestial body. heavier the celestial body more the gravitational force applied by it. so, mass of the object whose mass is 9.8 kg on earth is 9.8 kg on moon also. But weight of the body on moon i.e. the gravitational force applied by moon is much less (by an factor of 1/6) than that on the earth.
