Yes, the mass doesn't change. The weight may change, depending on the local gravity. The apparent weight will change even more, because of the (ficticious) "centrifugal force".

Why do you way more on Jupiter but your mass is the same?
Because the gravitaional forces on Jupiter are greater than here on Earth, so therefore the force on your body is greater. This increases your weight. Your mass remains the same though. Force(or weight) = mass * acceleration. Acceleration is gravitational constant. On earth it is 9.81 m/s2. Not sure what it is on Jupiter. Also mass depends on body fluid weight.
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.
If an object has a mass of 12.5 grams What is the mass on the moon?
The same as on earth because mass remains constant everywhere if you are thinking about the "weight" then it will be changed .
Why don't we notice a difference between mass and weight on earth?
Because gravity is relatively constant anywhere on Earth's surface.
What is your mass on other planets?
Mass is a measure of how much matter there is. Therefore your mass will remain constant on Earth, in space or anywhere in the universe. (unless you go on a diet)
Is the mass of a body constant?
Mass of a body is constant
What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
Is mass always constant no matter where you are?
as mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body
What force is acting on the weight?
Weight is , actually, the force experienced by a body on the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. It is expressed as the same way as force Force = mass*acceleration where as weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity Since mass of a body is constant and gravity is almost constant(9.8 m/s2 ) except at the poles where it is (10 m/s2 ) , a body has the same weight, wherever it is on earth.
How weight can change?
As the mass of a body or things is constant , the weight only depends on the the gravity 'g'. As the gravity increases with the decrease of the hight of the mass from the centre of the earth , the mass also increases with the decrease of hight from the centre of the earth.
If mass is constant and weight is a force that depends on location why is weight on Earth independent of location?
The gravity on Earth is constant.
What is the measure of the gravitational force on an object is?
Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.

Where does gravity pull you?
Gravity, which is a function of the earth's mass, is a constant force toward the center of the earth.
What Is constant on earth a weight or mass?
i just learned about that and i think it is weight.
What is the constant for gravity?
The constant acceleration due to gravity on EARTH is -9.81 m/s^2. This constant does not apply to objects on other planets because the mass of another planet might not be the same as Earth's mass. Because acceleration due to gravity is constant, this will be the acceleration due to gravity no matter the position of the object on Earth.
Why does the body's weight get smaller in space?
Weight depends on mass. More specifically, weight = mass x gravity. --- A body's weight is really just the force drawing it toward the earth. For our purposes, we can use Newton's law of gravitation which states that this force is given by Gm1me/r2, where G is the gravitation constant, m1 is the mass of the body, me is the mass of the earth and r is the distance between the body and the earth. G, m1 and me do not change as a body moves into space; however, that distance r becomes larger which makes the force smaller, and that force is the body's weight.
