On the Moon is my weight is the same?
You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.
Why does an astronaut still have the same mass on the moon?
Your mass is the amount of matter that contains, it is your weight that will differ due to gravity. The astronaut still has the same amount of matter whether he be on earth, in space, or on the moon, though due to the different strenghts of gravity he will weight the most on earth, 1/6th of this on the moon, and be weightless in outer space.
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.
How can you weigh more on the earth than you would on the moon and still have the same mass in both places?
Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.
What would 1 kg weight on the moon?
Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.
Would you have less matter on the earth or the moon?
You always have the same amount of matter, regardless of where you go.But, the weight of matter is less on the moon than it is on Earth.Just remember, weight and mass are two different things.
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.

What happens to the mass on the moon?
Your mass (and inertia) are the same on the Moon as they are on Earth. However your weight on the Moon will be less than when you are on Earth. This is because MASS is an intrinsic property of matter while weight is caused by your local gravity field.
Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?
Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.
How can you weigh more on the earth than you would on the moon and still have the same mass in both places?
Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.
How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?
Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
Why is the of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
Is your weight on the moon the same as your weight on earth?
Your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth, but your mass is still the same. Teehee. I was here! >:D
