your weight can change because of gravity but your mass has nothing to do with gravity it is the amount of matter that is in or makes up an object, just picture this you have a empty folder, it has mass and weight, then you put something in it the weight changes but the mass, or amount of matter that makes up the folder, has not changed

Your mass stays the same; It's your weight that changes.


Would your weight and mass change on the moon?

So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.

How does gravity effect the amount of mass of object?

Mass does not depend on gravity, it stays the same (is conserved) in different places. But its weight - the force of gravity - varies in different places, like on the Moon it's 1/6 of what it is here. Confusion is caused by using kilogrammes for both mass and weight, but scientists use a different unit for weight/force, the Newton. On the Earth's surface a 1 kilogram mass has a weight of 9.806 Newtons.


How does gravity affect the weight of matter?

It's a very direct relationship; weight is caused by gravity. weight = mass x gravity Therefor, if gravity goes up and mass stays constant weight, goes up. And the reverse is true if gravity goes down and mass stays constant, weight goes down.


State 3 differences between mass and weight?

1. Weight changes in different places but mass stays the same. 2. mass is the amount of material in an object and weight is the gravitational pull. 3. Weight is measured in newtons and mass is measured in grams


Does an object weight the same everywhere in the universe?

An object's weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on it, which varies depending on the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational field. Therefore, an object will weigh differently on different celestial bodies due to variations in their gravitational fields.


What stays the same everywhere mass or weight?

Mass does since it is the amount of matter in an object and it is the same everywhere. Weight is the amount of gravity force on the object, so it changes on a different planet.
