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.

An object's mass is affected by earth's pull on it?
no. weight is affected
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
What will happen of your mass if you go up to moon?
Nothing. Your mass isn't affected by gravity. Your weight changes though. Your weight in earth/6= your weight in moon
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
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.
An object's mass is affected by earth's pull on it?
no. weight is affected
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
How is the measurement of weight different from the measure of mass?
Weight is affected by the gravitational pull of a large body of mass while mass is affected by how many particles you have in your body. Weight is determined by the equation Fg=mg while mass is determined from a mass balance.

What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.

No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity).

Would a mass of a solid of g have same weight on earth?
Mass and weight are two separate things. Mass is how much an object contains. Weight is how the mass is affected by gravity. To answer your question, no, it would not.
What will happen of your mass if you go up to moon?
Nothing. Your mass isn't affected by gravity. Your weight changes though. Your weight in earth/6= your weight in moon
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.
Why is weight not the same as mass?
For example, the same object (with the same mass) will be affected differently by Earth's gravity, and by the lesser gravity on the Moon (i.e., its weight will change).
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
