Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?

Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.

How would the weight of the body vary as it is taken from the earth to the moon?
1/6 that of the earth
What measurement tool would give different results on the International Space Station than on earth even when measuring the same object?
A scale that measures weight would give a different measurement in space than on earth for the same object.
What is a measurement taken with the aid of the senses is?
That type of measurement would be referred to as a qualitative measurement.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to the gravity of earth?
dnt trip
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 planet would make you more than double your weight?
If you are on Jupiter, you will weigh more than double. (Weight on Earth taken as reference)
The measurement of the pull of earth on your body?
This would be your weight. Weight = [mass] * [acceleration due to gravity] or F = mg. Gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s2. Mass is measured in kilograms.
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

If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
What is the difference between the astronaut's mass on the earth and on the moon?
There is no difference in an astronaut's mass no matter where he or she might be. Mass is a constant, as opposed to weight which is dependent upon acceleration.None.Put simply. Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object, whereas weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. As their is less gravity on the moon, your weight would be different, your mass would not.
