What happens to the mass of an astronaut when he is on the moon?
Nothing, but his weight is 1/6 of his weight on Earth.
Why would an astronaut weigh less on the moon than earth?
The moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, both in diameter and in mass, and it therefore has a much weaker gravitational field. The weight of an astronaut on the moon is the result of the mass of the astronaut, which is not changed by going to the moon, and the gravitation field of the moon. A weaker gravitational field produces a lower weight.
Would your weight increase on the moon?
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
Why does an astronaut weight less on the moon?
Because the gravity of the moon is less, and does not pull on things as strongly as the Earth does (moon is smaller)
An astronaut on the moon has the same mass as she did on earth but has less?
mass doesnt change but weight does

Is the mass of an astronaut more or less on the moon or on earth?
The mass of an astronaut remains the same whether they are on the moon or on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object has and is independent of the gravitational force acting on it. However, the weight of an astronaut would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
What is the magnitude of the apparent weight of a 67kg astronaut 4400km from the center of the Earth's Moon in a space vehicle moving at constant velocity?
The force on the astronaut and the moon = 16.97 newtons (1.73 kilogram force)
Why can a astronaut carry more massive equipment around on the moon than on earth?
Because anything on the surface of the moon has only about 1/6 the weight that it has on the Earth's surface.
Why does an astronaut weigh less on the moon that on earth?
Your weight is a function (G=mg) of the gravitational pull (g) and the mass of the object in question (m). The mass of the Moon is only 1/6 that of Earth, so the astronaut on the Moon weighs only 1/6th as much as he does on Earth. His mass does not change.
Why does an astronaut still have the same mass on the moon?
Your mass is the amount of matter that contains, it is your weight that will differ due to gravity. The astronaut still has the same amount of matter whether he be on earth, in space, or on the moon, though due to the different strenghts of gravity he will weight the most on earth, 1/6th of this on the moon, and be weightless in outer space.
How would the weight and mass of the rocks on earth compare to measurements the astronaut made on the moon?
look at ur balls and cry
What is the mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the moon who weighs 165 lbs on the earth?
The mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the Moon who weighs 165 lbs on Earth is 12.4kg
