Astronauts jump easily on the moon How does this compare to his mass and weight on the earth?

The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).

How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
Calculate your weight using the acceleration due to gravity g on earth Compare your weight on earth and your weight the moon?
Weight can be calculated using the formula W=mg, where m is mass and g is gravity. Your weight on Moon is 16.5% of what you experience on Earth.
Why are astronauts floating above the Earth in a Space Shuttle really no weightless?
Weight is an expression of the gravitational force acting on an object. When the space shuttle is in orbit around the Earth, it is held there by the Earth's gravity. Since gravity is still acting on the shuttle and the astronauts inside, they still have weight. They are described as "weightless" because an object in orbit is in a constant state of free fall.
Why do men need to walk in a different way on the moon?
There are two main reasons; the gravity is 1/6 of Earth's so astronauts tended to bounce along. Conversely, to survive on the moon, astronauts are carrying a large backpack and wearing a bulky spacesuit - which doubles their weight; you can see the affect of the weight as the astronauts tend to lean forwards.
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
The weight of an astronauts in an artificial satellite revolving around the earth is?

Why is the weight of astronauts less than what they way on earth?
gravity is stronger on the earth cuz the earth is bigger that the moon :)>'
Can astronauts lift weights in space?
of course , but it would not be the same weight as on earth
Why do scientists classify and compare climates?
So that they can compare regions of the earth more easily.

How do rocks that astronauts gathered on the moon compare with rocks and minerals on the earth?
They appear to be igneous in nature with earth common minerals. Because the earth is geologically active and has flowing water, we see all rock types on the surface.
Free fall explains why astronauts have no mass while orbiting Earth?
Not quite. It explains why they have no weight. But their mass doesn't change.It's the same on earth, on the moon, and everywhere in between.
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
