The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.

What is the amount of matter that an object has if the object were on the moon this would not change?
That is its mass which does not change on earth, moon, or anywhere.
If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?
The object would have the same mass as mass remains constant everywhere. On the other hand if it was weight it would change as weight = mass multiplied with gravitational force.
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!
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
A 10 kg object on the moon would have?
What is the amount of matter that an object has if the object were on the moon this would not change?
That is its mass which does not change on earth, moon, or anywhere.
How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
How does the mass of an object on earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
there is no change in the mass of body
How does the mass and the object on the earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?
The object would have the same mass as mass remains constant everywhere. On the other hand if it was weight it would change as weight = mass multiplied with gravitational force.
What is the mass of a 10 kilogram object on the moon?
10 kilograms, of course. If you take an object to the Moon, its weight will change, but its mass won't.
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.

No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
How does your mas on earth compare to your mass on the moon?
The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.
What is an object's tendency to resist change in motion?
If your mass has 40 kg on earth what is your mass on moon
Will a solid have the same mass on the moon?
Yes, a solid would have the same mass on the moon as it would on earth. An object's mass is independent of the force of gravity, so its mass would remain the same even in the absence of gravity (e.g. on a spaceship). What would change is the weight, which is measured with mass in proportion to gravity.
