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 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 does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
What is the mass of a hammer on the moon?
The mass of a hammer on the Moon is the same as the mass of that same hammer on Earth - or in space, or anywhere else.
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.
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.
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.

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)
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
Does the earth and the moon have about the same mass?
The moon has much less mass than the Earth.No, the earth and the moon do not have the same mass. While both are very large, the moon is only 1/81st the weight of earth, with a weight of 7.34 x 10^22 kilograms.
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.
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
Calculate the mass on Earth (gravity = 9.8), and assume that the mass on the Moon will be the same.
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
Do Earth and the moon have the same mass?
No. Earth is about 80 times more massive than the moon.
