If the object's mass is 120g, then it's 120g. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars,
or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another.
Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.
You implied the answer in the way you asked the question.
You didn't bother to tell us where the object's mass is 120, because you didn't need to.
Mass is a characteristic property of the object, just like the object's age, color, ethnic
origin, and political affiliation. It stays with the object, and it goes wherever the object
goes. You don't have to say where the object's mass is 120, because the object's mass
simply is 120.
On Earth, on the moon, or anywhere else.
The mass would be exactly the same. The weight would change, and would be about 1/6 as much on the Moon.
About six times less; 19.83 grams. (divide mass on earth by 6.05 to convert to mass on the Moon).
A object weighing 120 pounds (54.4 kilograms) on Earth would weigh 19.9 pounds (9 kilograms) on the moon.
If an object has a mass of 20 grams on earth, its mass on the moon will be the same. Mass is constant.
120 g
Yes.
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.
The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.
The Earth Answer: As far as the "Why?" This is because the formula to calculate the magnitude of gravitaiona; attraction between two objects depends on the mass of the onjects. The formula is: Fg = G (m1m2/D2) Where: Fg = The force of gravity between objectsM = MassG = The universal gravitational constantD = The distance between the two objects Substituting values for the masses of the object, the moon and the Earth and canceling out the constant values gives us: F (Earth and Object)/ F (Moon and Object) = Mass Earth/Mass Moon As the mass of the Earth is significantly larger than the mass of the moon Mass Earth/Mass Moon =80) the attraction of the Earth is stronger and the object is pulled towards the Earth.
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
That is its mass which does not change on earth, moon, or anywhere.
Yes.

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.
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.

No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
nothing would happen
there is no change in the mass of body
