    Weight on the Moon = 291 N.

    W = g · m, where m stays for the mass and on the Moon g = 1.67 m/s²

    291 N = 1.67 m/s² · m

    m = 291 kg m / s² : 1.67 m/s²

    m = 174.25 kg

    Weight on Earth = 9.81 m/s² · 174.25 kg = 1,709.4 N

    Answer:

    The weight of an astronaut on Earth is 1,709.4 N.
