No, it doesn't. Weight can change, but mass doesn't. I learned this in 8th grade science. I had to do a report on it, so I know that it's true!
More Correct Answer:
Weight changes with gravitational attraction. Mass changes with velocity, in accordance with special relativity: mass=(rest mass)/(1-(v^2)/(c^2))^(1/2)
...where rest mass=the mass of an object not moving. Not moving relative to what is the next question, but I will stop here.

∙ 16y agoYes they do. But don't get confused between bodies attracting each other and zero-g weightlessness. They are different things. If the space shuttle were somehow parked while in orbit and prevented from falling, the astronauts would feel not much different from a person standing on the ground at sea level.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoOnly very slightly. If you were in the International Space Station and it stopped moving, you would feel the same weight as you feel at sea level within 1%.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, weight=mass*gravity. If mass stays the same, and the gravity changes, the weight will change, that's why someone would weigh less on the moon then on the earth.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoTheoretically, but unless you work with NASA, or you have your own space shuttle, those differences in weight are minute.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. However, weight increases with increasing gravity.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, Because Mass and Weight are really not that differnt ,but Weight is how heavy something is and Mass is the amount of something.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agono it doesn't

∙ 10y agoweight, not mass

How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
Distinguish between mass density and weight density?
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
Does gravity have the same effect on weight as it does on mass?
weight and mass are the same thing essentially. weight is a measurement of mass. so technically the answer to your question is yes
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
Why do objects with more have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
Measurement of gravity's effect on a mass?
Weight.
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
What does weight rely on?
Mass and gravity. F = ma. Weight is a measurement of the force a mass exerts downwards due to the effect of gravity.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
Distinguish between mass density and weight density?
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
Who is the mathematician of weight?
It could be Newton who discovered that weight was the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
Does the density of an object effect it's weight?
No, The weight is depends on gravity and total mass .
Does gravity have the same effect on weight as it does on mass?
weight and mass are the same thing essentially. weight is a measurement of mass. so technically the answer to your question is yes
What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?
More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
