Yes, and 1 pound is everywhere 1 pound, even on the Moon. The US don’t have even a different unit for weight and mass. because when the imperial system was invented they thought that it was the same.
Uh… But a pound IS a pound on the moon, it’s a unit of force/weight not mass (I wish we [the US] used metric, just being annoyingly pedantic for fun)
Edit:
Aaaand apparently my brain didn’t read your whole comment, you already addressed the weight/mass thing. Long day, laying in bed w headache, can’t read
You say it, a Pound is a Pound weight on earth, but weight depends on gravity, so a Pound is only 1/6 Pound on the Moon Imperial system is obsolet crap, maybe enough for a farmer, but in tecnology, science, where you need to work with measures of μ, feet and inches are as usefull like roman numbers for integrals.
