A #2 graphite pencil made of wood weighs between 6 and 10 grams. The difference is in the thickness of the wood (cheaper pencils have thinner wood).
But it depends on the pencil. There are many different types of pencils that are mainly used in art. There's an HB pencil which is just a regular office pencil, which is probably what you're measuring. But there are also others. There are 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 9B. The higher the number, the darker the color of the lead and the softer the lead. So even though 9B is the darkest color, you'd think it would be the heaviest, but really HB is.

A pencil would weigh about 1/6th of its weight on the Moon due to the Moon's lower gravity compared to Earth. This means that a typical pencil weighing 5 grams on Earth would weigh around 0.83 grams on the Moon.
A typical pencil weighs about 7-9 grams, which is equivalent to 7000-9000 milligrams.
Oh, isn't that just a lovely question! A pencil, my friend, weighs only a few grams, not even close to a kilogram. It's amazing how such a small thing can hold so much creativity and potential. Just remember, even the lightest touch can create something beautiful on the canvas of life.
to be honest I would use a metre ruler that really helps a lot place your metre ruler on your desk. put your pencil starting from 0. Then measure it. This is how you would measure it.
You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.
