Mass stays the same on Earth, in space, or on the Moon. WEIGHT varies, because weight is the mass times the gravity. On Earth, we're often guilty of lazy speech and lazy thinking, and we sometimes use "mass" and "weight" interchangeably. This is convenient here on Earth, where the force of gravity is pretty much the same everywhere. (There are very minor differences due to changes in altitude or mass concentrations in the Earth, but the differences are unnoticeable without precise instruments.)
So one kilogram is a measurement of MASS; 2.2 pounds is a measurement of WEIGHT. They are not the same.
In the metric system, mass is measured in grams, while weight is measured in newtons. In the English system (used in the USA, but no longer in England) mass is measured in "slugs" while weight is measured in pounds.
What else can I help you with?
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
What is the effect of man walking on the moon?
he will have a lower weight (newtons) but mass (KG) will stay the same.
When the object's weight changes with gravity does the mass stays the same?
Of course the objects mass will not change. Since there is no gravity in space(moon), only the objects weight will change.No matter where the object the mass will stay the same!
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
If you weigh less on the moon do you have less mass?
No, your mass remains the same regardless of the gravitational force acting on you. Weight is dependent on gravity and mass, so on the moon where gravity is weaker, you would weigh less compared to on Earth, but your mass would stay constant.
Would the mass of a dollar bill stay the same on the moon?
Yes, the mass of a dollar bill would remain the same on the moon as it does on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location. However, the weight of the dollar bill would decrease on the moon due to its weaker gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's.
How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
Does your mass increase decrease or stay the same if you so to Saturn?
Your mass will stay the same no matter where you go.
What is the mass of a hammer on the moon?
The mass of a hammer on the Moon is the same as the mass of that same hammer on Earth - or in space, or anywhere else.
Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
Would mass be more or less on the moon?
Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.
