Answer:

The Moon weighs about 7.349*10^22 kg

How much does “an elephant” weigh? Grown-up elephants vary between 1.7 tons (small wood elephant cow) and 6 tons (big African elephant bull). Let us pick 2.720 tons or 2720 kg as an average weigh one, this is valid for Asian elephants.

A mole of elephants weighs 6.022 * 10^23 x 2720 kg = 1.638 * 10^27 kg.

That is 1,638 * 10^27 / 7,349*10^22 = 22289 times more.
