Mass . . . No change.
Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the
other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.

An object of mass 0.50 kg is transported to the surface of Planet X where the object's weight is measured to be 20 N The radius of the planet is 4000000 m What free fall acceleration will the 0.5kg OJ?
18 m/s
Is mass the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object?
No mass is not the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object. Mass is the stuff of which the object is composed. The magnitude of the gravitational forces between the object and Earth ... or whatever planet the object happens to be on ... is the object's "weight".
When there is twice the mass how much weight is there?
If the object doesn't move to another planet while you double its mass,its weight will also double.
Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?
No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.
What is the force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet?
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is calculated by the product of the mass of the person or object and the gravitational constant acceleration for the planet. For Earth, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m / s^2.
What happens on the new Doctor Who at Easter 2010?
Easter 2010 was the time setting of the episode 'Planet of the Dead' in which a bus is transported to another planet.

Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.
What happens if another planet bumps into another planet?
it would break or if a small planet bumped itnto juipeter, juipeter would have another moon.
When a planet or one of its satellites casts its shadow on another planet or satellite what happens?
you can see a shadow on the planet and its so cool
What happens to the speed of an object like a planet or satellite if it moves closer to the object it is revolving around?
It increases in order to conserve angular momentum.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Will an object weigh more newtons on another planet?
It would depend on which two planets you are comparing.
Is mass the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object?
No mass is not the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object. Mass is the stuff of which the object is composed. The magnitude of the gravitational forces between the object and Earth ... or whatever planet the object happens to be on ... is the object's "weight".
What is the brightest planet as visible from another planet?
Venus is considered the brightest object (and planet) to be seen from Earth (Being visible with the naked eye even in light-polluted cities).
Is Mars an object?
no, its a planet _____ As a planet, Mars can be described as an astronomical object.
Does a dwarf planet orbit another planet?
No. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon. A dwarf planet orbits a star just like a true planet does, but has been unable to clear its orbital path of debris such as asteroids and comets.
