Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


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.


If Astronauts use special pens during space missions Their mass of Earth is 12.5 grams and they weigh 0.4 ounces On the moon they weigh 0.07 ounces What is their mass on the moon?

Sounds like a homework question.The mass doesn't change. Only the weight.


How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?

-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.


Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?

Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.


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.

Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.


How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?

If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
