If your mass is 70kg on earth how much is your mass on the moon?

If your mass is 10 kg, then it's 10 kg on the earth, the moon, the International Space Station,
inside Saturn's rings, or halfway to Alpha Centauri. Your mass is yours. You take it with you. It
doesn't change, no matter where you go.
What DOES change is the force that draws your mass toward other masses that happen to be nearby.
The larger the OTHER mass is, the stronger the force is between it and you. The name we give to that
force is your "weight". That's the thing that can change when you take your mass to other places, and
near other masses.

∙ 15y agoYour MASS would be no different on the Moon, but your WEIGHT would be between 11 and 12 kilograms on the Moon, as the Moon exerts only about one-sixth as much gravity as Earth.

Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Where is there no gravity other than the moon?
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
How big is the earth compeard to the moon?
The Moon's radius is slightly over a quarter that of Earth's, but its mass is only about 1/80 as much as the Earth's mass.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.
Why is there not very much gravity on the moon?
All objects generate gravity according to their mass, so does the moon. The moon's mass is only about 1/80 as much as the Earth's mass.
Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?
The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
Why moon has less gravity?
The Moon has much less mass than the Earth.
Does the moon give gravity to the earth?
No. Earth's gravity is due to Earth's own mass. The moon has its own gravity due to its mass, but that gravity is much weaker than Earth's.
Where is there no gravity other than the moon?
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
Why the gravity on earth is greater than that moon?
Mainly because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
Why is your weight not the same on the moon then it is on Earth?
The moon has much less mass than Earth does and therefore has weaker gravity.
