What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?

The mass will remain the same, but the weight will be one sixth of what it was on earth, since weight depends on the local force of gravity. The moons gravity is one sixth of the earths.

What would be the effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the moon?
The mass stays the same, the weight is about one sixth as here on Earth. The astronauts had to learn how to move there... it's harder getting stopped and doing corners, as you don't have the weight and traction you are used to.
A rock is taken from the surface of the moon and brought to earth what is different about this rock on earth?
It weighs more .
Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
weight
How does the weight of an object change when it is taken to the moon?
I would weigh 30lbs 5.9oz.Well your weight on earth is given by the equation weight = mass x gravity. The different gravity constant on the moon is what changes your weight, but your mass remains the same. The weight formula on the moon would be the same only with the different gravity constant. So putting these equations together we get:weight on moon = mass x gravity constant of moonweight on moon = (weight on earth/gravity constant of earth) x gravity constant of moonThen we plug in the gravity constants and get the final conversion equation:weight on moon = (weight on earth/ 9.8) x 1.6Note: The constants are given with the units m/s2 but because they cancel each other out, you can enter your weight with any units and solve for your weight on the moon in the same units.Hope this helps!Well actually you have no weight on the Moon you just are weightless because there is no gravity...About 1/6 of your weight on the Earth. The weight on the Moon is about 1.6 Newton/kilogram.nope, weight is relative to gravitational force. The astronaut would have the same mass though.
How would the weight of an object chnage if it is initially weighed in delhi and then taken to the pole?
delhi is near the equator. the earth is thicker at the equator, object is further away from earth than if it at pole. heavier at the pole.

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
The weight would double, while the mass stayed the same.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change

A rock is taken from the surface of the moon and brought to earth what is different about this rock on earth?
It weighs more .
How would the weight of the body vary as it is taken from the earth to the moon?
1/6 that of the earth
Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
weight
What percentage of earth is water?
It is estimated that up to 70% of the 'surface' of the earth is taken up with water. The earth's water is reckoned to weigh about 1.460 petatonnes (Pt) (1021kilograms). The weight of the earth (including its water) is reckoned to be 5973.6 petatonnes
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to at planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Nothing would happen to mass, but as weight is technically a force due to gravity, based on mass, the weight would be doubled, but again mass would remain the same.
What is the force of gravitity at the surface of your planet?
The acceleration of gravity (lower case g) on Earth's surface is often taken to be 9.8 m/s^2, so the force exerted can be determined by multiplying the acceleration by the mass in question. This manifests in the weight of the object.
