What would your weight and mass be if your were on the moon?
Your mass is the same wherever you go. Your weight on the moon is about 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
What changes on the moon mass or weight?
Weight.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Astronauts jump easily on the moon How does this compare to his mass and weight on the earth?
The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.

What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.
A rock has a mass of 0.8 kg on earth and weighs 1.8 pounds it weighs 0.29 pounds on the moon how many kg is its mass?
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring. The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 16.3 kg. What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.
How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.

Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?
The weight will be different.
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.
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
