The mass of the astronaut remains the same. However, the weight of the astronaut is less on the moon.

Do electrons have the mass as protons?
Protons are part of the nucleus, so they have less mass than the nucleus (except in the specific case of hydrogen, where the nucleus is a single proton so they have the same mass).Electrons are much less massive than protons. It would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of one proton.Neutrons are very slightly more massive than protons, by just about the mass of an electron. They're close enough that they're generally treated as having essentially the same mass.
Would weight increase or decrase on the surface of an earth sized planet with greater mass than earth?
If you're the same distance from the center of the planet but its mass is greater than earth's mass, then the mutual gravitational force between you and that planet is greater than on earth, and you'll "weigh" more than you do here.
What is the mass and weight of a 10-kg object on Earth?
10 kilograms is the mass. To calculate the weight (in newtons), multiply the mass by 9.8.
Why does the weight varies from place to place on the earth's surface?
Because people eat a lot when they travel on vacation. Just kidding. Because your "weight" is determined by gravity, and gravity varies very slightly over the face of the earth. Nothing you would notice in ordinary experience, but if you doing something like trying to target an intercontinental missile or steer a satellite (where slight miscalculations matter) it would make a difference Think of weight as mass plus gravity. What is mass? If something is floating in space it has no weight but it still has its mass. A 200 pound steel anvil will weigh nothing in space but still have the same mass. It's a weird concept, don't fight it, mass is the stuff something is. Your "weight" is your mass being attracted to the mass of the earth, like two magnets. The more mass you have (the bigger you are) the more gravity. This is why you one sixth on the moon, because the moon only has one sixth the mass of the earth. One more concept: the closer two masses are to each other the stronger the gravitational attraction. So as you get away from the earth it's gravity becomes weaker and weaker until you are weightless in space. For a reference point they measure distance from the center of the earth (as in Journey to The Center of the Earth). HERE IS YOUR ANSWER: The earth is not perfectly round, it is slightly egg-shaped, wider at the equator as it spins. The farther you are from the center of the earth the less gravity, the less you weigh. So if you are on a high mountain or at the equator you will weigh a teeny bit less. Your mass stays the same though.
What problems would you have if your house was built as a mass structure?
none, a mass structure is pretty much just like your house! its built to hold up weight.
Would the mass of an elephant be less on the moon?
No, the mass of the elephant will never change, but on the moon the elephant would weigh less. Weight is the affect of gravitation wich is the attraction of two bodies that have mass. The mass of the moon is smaller then that of the earth so the gravitational pull would be less.
How are mass and weight affected if a block of iron is transported to the moon?
The mass would not change, but because the moon has less gravitational pull than the earth (because it is smaller), the iron block would weigh much less.
An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?
If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.on earth the mass is equal to the weight.on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull
Would a person weigh less on Pluto or the Moon?
Pluto is both smaller and less dense than earth's moon. Hence, a person would weigh less there.
Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?
falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.
Would mass be more or less on the moon?
Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.
Why would you way less on mars than on earth?
Mars is a smaller planet so the gravity is lower so you would have less pull on your mass so you would weigh less. weight is the measure of gravitational pull on an object.
If an object has a mass of 26 g on earth would its mass be less than 26 g on the moon?
If an object has a mass of 36g on earth it will also have a mass of 26g on the moon. This is because while weight varies depending on gravity, mass is a universal constant that reflects the number of molecules in an object.It's mass would be the same (amount of matter) But it's weight would be less on the moon, yes.
How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?
Weight decreases as gravity decreases.
Would you have a different mass on the moon why why not?
No. Mass is a measure of the amount of "stuff" or matter a thing has. You wouldn't be smaller or bigger on the moon. You would, however, weigh less because weight is a function of gravity nand there is little gravity on the moon.
