Gravity has no effect on the mass of an object. However, an object's weight is the measurement of gravitational force on the object.
The gravitational force on the moon for example is ~ 1/6 of that on Earth.
A 300 kg object would weigh 3000N (Newtons) on the Earth but only weigh 500 N on the Moon but its mass would still be 300 kg on the Moon and on the Earth.

Gravity will have a greater effect on an object with?
"greater mass"
What is the relationship mass and the force of gravity?
Mass is a measure of how much matter something has. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on that mass. So an object that weighs 1kg on Earth would weigh less on the Moon which has less gravity even though the mass of the object is constant. The relationship is: Force of gravity on an object in a certain place = (object's mass) x (acceleration of gravity in that place) .
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.

What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?
More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).

What is mass not effected by?
Gravity has no effect on the mass of an object as everything whatever the weight experiencing the same force of gravity (9.8N). However an objects weight is the gravitational force on the object.
What does mass mean in weighing?
The weight is the mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. When weighing an object by a balance the acceleration of gravity is on both sides of weighing and hence canceling its effect and hence you get the object mass (not the weight)..
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
The weight of an object is based on what?
Its mass and the gravity of the objects that are close enough to it to have a great effect on it.
