An object has a mass of 120 g on earth what would it be on the moon?

If the object's mass is 120g, then it's 120g. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars,
or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another.
Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.

You didn't bother to tell us where the object's mass is 120, because you didn't need to.
Mass is a characteristic property of the object, just like the object's age, color, ethnic
origin, and political affiliation. It stays with the object, and it goes wherever the object
goes. You don't have to say where the object's mass is 120, because the object's mass
simply is 120.
On Earth, on the moon, or anywhere else.

Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Yes.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
How does your mas on earth compare to your mass on the moon?
The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.
If an object is placed halfway between the moon and earth were would the object fall towards?
The Earth Answer: As far as the "Why?" This is because the formula to calculate the magnitude of gravitaiona; attraction between two objects depends on the mass of the onjects. The formula is: Fg = G (m1m2/D2) Where: Fg = The force of gravity between objectsM = MassG = The universal gravitational constantD = The distance between the two objects Substituting values for the masses of the object, the moon and the Earth and canceling out the constant values gives us: F (Earth and Object)/ F (Moon and Object) = Mass Earth/Mass Moon As the mass of the Earth is significantly larger than the mass of the moon Mass Earth/Mass Moon =80) the attraction of the Earth is stronger and the object is pulled towards the Earth.
Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
What is the amount of matter that an object has if the object were on the moon this would not change?
That is its mass which does not change on earth, moon, or anywhere.
Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Yes.

Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
What effect does gravity have on the mass of an object?
Gravity has no effect on the mass of an object. However, an object's weight is the measurement of gravitational force on the object. The gravitational force on the moon for example is ~ 1/6 of that on Earth. A 300 kg object would weigh 3000N (Newtons) on the Earth but only weigh 500 N on the Moon but its mass would still be 300 kg on the Moon and on the Earth.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.
How does your mas on earth compare to your mass on the moon?
The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.

Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
What would happen to earth if the moon were to be replaced with an object that had Jupiters mass?
nothing would happen
How does the mass of an object on earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
there is no change in the mass of body
