If a rock on the moon has a mass of 1.2kg what is its mass on earth?

The mass of the rock stays the same, it's a constant.
If you're asking what it's weight is; you just have to multiply it by the Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.81m/s2), which should come out as 11.8kg (correct to 3s.f)

What has more mass a rock in earth or a rock on the moon?
a rock in earth
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.
Will the mass or weight of a rock change on the moon?
180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon. Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.
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...
If a rock has a mass of 0.15 kg on the moon. What mass will it be on earth?
0.15 kg. Mass doesn't change, (unless the object is moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light).But weight does change, depending on what else is around.Your rock with 0.15 kg of mass weighs 1.47 newtons (5.3 ounces) on the surfaceof the earth, and 0.24 newton (0.57 ounce) on the surface of the moon.
Is moon rock inorganic?
Yes. Moon rock is similar to volcanic rock on Earth.
What are the materials of the moon and earth?
the Earth is made of rock, magma deep in the Earth's crust, and some dirt here and there. the Moon is made of rock.
What is the earth and moon made of?
The Earth has many layers of soil and rock. The moon is just a big ball of soft rock.
What is earth and moon made of?

If a rock was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The rock will weigh less on the moon.
What is the mass of a rock that weighs 94 newtons?
On earth the rock has a mass of 9.6kg
If a rock was taken from earth to the moon how would it affect its mass and weight?
The rock's mass remains the same, it will not change. However it's weight does change because the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 the acceleration on Earth. W = mg (weight )= (mass)*(gravitational acceleration) If a rock's mass is 10 kg then: On Earth g=9.81 m/s^2 On the Moon g= 1.63 m/s^2 W(earth) = m*g = (10kg)*(9.81m/s^2) = 98.1 kgm/s^2 = 98.1 N W(moon) = m*g = (10kg)*(1.63m/s^2) = 16.3 kgm/s^2 = 16.3 N
