If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
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 was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth Assume that the rock would not burn up.?
A rock's weight on the Moon would be about one-sixth of its weight on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravitational pull. Conversely, on the Sun, the rock would weigh significantly more—approximately 27 times its weight on Earth—because of the Sun's much stronger gravity. Thus, while a rock would be lighter on the Moon, it would be substantially heavier on the Sun.
How much do a rock weight from the moon?
The overwhelming majority of moon rock is basalt, a very common volcanic rock. Earth has more basalt than it knows what to do with. Two equal volumes of basalt, one from earth and the other from the moon would weigh just about the same (on earth).
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.
A rock is taken from the surface of the moon and brought to earth what is different about this rock on earth?
The main difference is that the rock's appearance may change due to exposure to Earth's atmosphere, causing potential oxidation or weathering. Additionally, the rock's composition could be altered as it interacts with Earth's environment, leading to potential chemical reactions that could affect its structure. Lastly, the rock's weight will be different on Earth due to the moon's lower gravitational pull compared to Earth.
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
A rock would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravity. On the Sun, a rock would weigh significantly more due to the Sun's much stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth.
Is mass of the rock in the moon is the same as on earth?
The mass of a rock remains the same regardless of whether it is on the Moon or Earth; mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However, its weight will differ due to the varying gravitational forces exerted by each celestial body. The Moon's gravitational pull is about one-sixth that of Earth's, so a rock will weigh significantly less on the Moon than it does on Earth.
What has more mass a rock in earth or a rock on the moon?
a rock in earth
How are moons and asteroids different?
"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."
Is moon rock inorganic?
Yes. Moon rock is similar to volcanic rock on Earth.
