On the moon as the gravity is less you will only weigh 1/6th of your natural weight there.

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.

Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.

How does mass effect an objects weight?

It doesn't really. mass is what is inside something. For example, if you went to the moon, you wouldn't lose anything therefore, your mass would not change. But if you went to the moon, your weight would go down. This is because there is a much smaller gravitational pull on the moon than the earth does. So, basically the weight of something is decided by how powerful the gravitational pull is on you.

People would lose about 1% of their weight.


Would your weight change if you went on the moon?

Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.
