Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?
yes
Is the mass of a person the same on the earth?
Mass and weight are different.BUTTo make it complicated they are both stated in pounds or Kilograms SoWeight is how much force is holding to the planets surface. On the moon this is about one sixth of earth Mass is the same on earth and the moon or in deep space and is used to calculate how much energy it will take to move you.The answer you are looking for:Yes, the Mass of a person is the same on the moon and Earth.
Why are people lighter on the moon than on the earth?
the gravitational force of the earth is much stronger then on the moon. Also, a person is not "lighter". their mass is the same, it is the weight of the person. Weight is a unit of measurement. You are lighter on the moon than on earth because there is 1/6 less gravity.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
Is the moon always the same?
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!
Why a person has a heavier mass on earth than on the moon?
He hasn't. The mass is the same, but the graviational pull from the Earth is stronger than that from the moon.

Why do you fote on the moon?
One does not necessarily float on the moon, rather experiences less gravity which in turn doesnt pull you down at the same speed as persay on the earth
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
If a person's mass is seventy kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?
The mass on the Moon is still seventy kilograms (the same as on Earth) because mass is an inherent property of matter. However the 70 kilogram person would weigh 11.6 kilograms on the Moon because weight depends on gravity and the Moon's gravity is 0.1654 of that of the Earth.
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
If gold were sold by weight (instead of mass) would you rather buy it on Earth or on the Moon?
On Earth - bringing the gold from the Moon back to Earth would cost more than the gold is worth.Note that under the given assumptions, you would get more gold on the Moon for the same price.
Doesn't the moon gravity pull at the earth?
It does. The moon's gravity pulls on Earth with exactly the same amount of force as Earth's gravity pulls on the moon. However, since Earth has about 80 times more mass than the moon, it experiences about 1/80 the acceleration that the moon does. Rather than the moon simply orbiting Earth, the two revolve around a common center of mass, which is inside Earth, but closer to Earth's surface than it is to the center.
