weight is mass times acceleration.
If the acceleration is zero, e.g. weightless in space, then the mass you have is still the same, but since there is no acceleration, there is no weight.
Experiment. If you attach a small mass to a spring balance, then while you are lifting it, the weight will increase.

Would your weight change on mt Everest?
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
How would weight and mass change as you moved from the earth to Jupiter?
Your mass would remain the same, because mass is constant no matter where you may be. However, your weight would shift depending on the gravity pull available.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Does mass change depending a person's weight?
The weight itself is how much mass is there, so in theory the WEIGHT changes to how much mass there is.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
Will an object's mass change if taken to space?
No, an objects mass will remain the same no matter where it is. (Its weight will however vary)
What would happen to your weight is earths mass remained the same?
If earth's mass were to remain the same, your weight would be constant, i.e. it would not change.

What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
When you travel from the planet Earth to another place, such as the International Space Station or the moon, your mass would remain the same but your weight would change.
How would weight and mass change as you moved from the earth to Jupiter?
Your mass would remain the same, because mass is constant no matter where you may be. However, your weight would shift depending on the gravity pull available.
What is the mass of an empty 16 oz water bottle?
The mass of the bottle will remain the same whether it's full or empty however, the weight will change.
What remains the same when gravity changes Weight or mass?
Mass will basically remain the same. As a reminder, weight = mass x gravity.
Is it possible for an object weight to change while its mass remain constant?
Yes. Weight is the product of mass times gravitational acceleration. So all you have to do is vary the gravitational field and you vary weight. This is why astronauts on the Moon only weighed about 1/6 their weight on Earth.
Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
Does mass or weight change on moon?
<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Where would a person have less mass?
A persons mass never changes. A persons WEIGHT changes according to the amount of gravitational force put on the object. Some 1 on the moon WEIGHS less on the moon but still has the same mass. Mass plays a factor in the weight but a persons mass never changes by where the person is or so I think.
