Can you explain why your mass would be the same on earth and the moon?

Well, no matter what, our mass would be the same where ever you go. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Theres no way that you could just lose a little mass simply by going to the moon, its impossible.

Explain why the force of gravity is weaker on the Moon than it is on the Earth?
The Moon's mass is smaller than the Earth's mass, and so it has a weaker gravitational pull.
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.
What would your weight and mass be if your were on the moon?
Your mass is the same wherever you go. Your weight on the moon is about 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
How would the moon move if earths mass increased?
If Earth's mass increased, then the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would also increase. The moon would be more strongly attracted to Earth. The acceleration between the 2 would increase also.

An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?
If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.on earth the mass is equal to the weight.on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull
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.
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
If a person has a mass of 71kg on earth what would be their mass on the moon be?
11.83 that is the 1/6 of his mass in earth
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.

Your mass is the same wherever you go. Your weight on the moon is about 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
How does the Moon's size compares to earths size?
The volume of the Moon is 2% compared to the Earth. You would need 81 objects with the mass of the Moon to match the mass of the Earth.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
How would the moon move if earths mass increased?
If Earth's mass increased, then the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would also increase. The moon would be more strongly attracted to Earth. The acceleration between the 2 would increase also.
Would your weight and mass change if you were on the moon?
(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.
