How would weight and mass change as you moved from the earth to Jupiter?

Your mass would remain the same, because mass is constant no matter where you may be. However, your weight would shift depending on the gravity pull available.

How would the weight and mass change if you moved from earth to the moon?
First, mass and weight are not the same thing. Second, due to the difference in the gravitational pull of Earth versus the moon, you weigh more on Earth and less on the moon, although your mass stays the same.
What happens to the weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to mars?
The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.
Is Jupiter the farthest planet away from the Sun?
When a planet is closest to us is not determined by the time of year. Each planet takes a different amount of time to orbit the sun. So as we are orbiting the sun, so is Jupiter, and the time we are closest to it in one year will be different the following year, as Jupiter will have moved by then.
What would happen to your mass if you moved to the moon?
It wouldn't change. Your weight, however, would be about a sixth of what it is now.
What happens to mass and weight of an object when the object is moved from earth to Jupiter?
The mass of an object stays the same no matter where it is, as it still has the same amount of matter in it (the definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object). However, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on. The equation W = m * g where W is the weight, m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the celestial body (which changes from body to body) shows that an object's weight would change with the planet's gravitational acceleration. For example, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is about 25m/s^2. So let's work out the equations with a 100 kg mass. Earth: W=mg W=100kg*9.8m/s^2 W=98 kg/m/s^2 or 98 newtons Jupiter: W=mg W=100kg*25m/s^2 W=250 kg/m/s^2 or 250 newtons So, (250/98 = ~2.5) things weigh about 2.5 times more on Jupiter, but have the same mass.
What happens to an object if it is moved from earth to jupiter?
It would be heavier.
Galileo's observations of what suggested that the earth moved around the sun Mars Jupiter Venus or Pluto?
It was his observation of four of the moons of Jupiter.

Can matter be changed or moved?
Matter can not change. Its weight always stays the same NO MATTER WHAT, and it can be moved

What happen to the acceleration due to gravity if earth stop revolving?
GRAVITYThe acceleration due to gravity is a force related to Earth's mass and is not dependent on its rotation - gravity would not change if the Earth ceased to rotate. WEIGHT However, if the Earth ceased to rotate, someone standing on the equator would weigh more - this increase in weight effect would decrease as you moved the person to the poles to do the comparison.
Explain why the weight of an object is not the same on different points on the earth?
Weight is a measurement of the gravitational attraction of the earth to the mass of a body. Since the mass stays the same wherever the body is, the gravitational attraction must change from location to location. A body weighing 120 grams at sea level, would weigh slightly less as it was moved away from the center of gravity of the earth, for example, up a mountain. It would weigh slightly more the further below sea level it was moved. Suspending (or immersing) a body in water would also change its apparent weight, though this would be a reaction to the bodies buoyancy rather than a change in gravitational attraction. - wjs1632 -
Is it true if an object mass will change if you move it from earth to the moon?
Density depends on mass and volume. Neither of those quantities changes when a solid is moved to the moon.

How can the weight of an object change when it is moved?
If you are moving at different altitude the gravity will changes and so the weght will changes
