Yes. the closer to the equator the less people weight.

∙ 11y agothis is because we learnt it in physics class... :P sorry - this is the question i wanted to know too..

∙ 14y agoYes. The further you are from the center of the Earth, the weaker the force of gravity becomes. So, you weigh less at the top of a mountain than you do in Death Valley

mass is the amount of matter or substance in a body

How the location of an object affect its mass and weight?
The location like moon will affect its weight but not the mass
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
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.
Suppose you took a trip to the moon how and why would your weight change would your mass change too?
Your mass would stay the same, but your weight would change. Weight is the effect of gravity acting upon an object, where as mass is the amount of matter an object has. Your "weight" measured on the Moon would be one-sixth your weight on Earth.
Does mass and weight change with location because the force of gravity changes?
Mass does not change!!! Whatever the force of gravity, the object contains the same amount of matter. However, weight does change because the gravitational acceleration changes.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
How the location of an object affect its mass and weight?
The location like moon will affect its weight but not the mass
What would happen to my mass and weight if I was on the moon?
The mass would be the same where ever you go in the universe
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
Why is mass more useful than weight for measured matter?
Scientists prefer to rely on mass instead of weight when measuring because weight will change depending on location, whereas mass remains constant regardless of location. You could weigh 60 pounds on earth, but 10 pounds on the moon, but your mass would be the same on earth and the moon.
How does location affect an objects mass and weight?
Weight is mass x gravity. If an object is placed in a location where there is more gravity, or less, its weight will change accordingly. Its mass will hardly change, except for very slight effects caused by the Special Theory of Relativity (an increase in potential energy implies an increase in mass), but this is only so for an outside observer, and the effect is so small that it can be ignored for most practical purposes.
Does mass or weight depend on a objects location?
Yes. Weight does.
Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
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.
Does mass or weight change?
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
