Because your mass is the measure of the amount of matter or "stuff" you or something are made of. And according to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be created or destroyed, so while on the moon you may weigh less due to smaller amounts of gravity, you still have the same amount of matter or "stuff" in you.

Why does our mass change if we go to the moon?

Mass is the measure of how much material is present. So if you travel somewhere, your mass does not change (except if you get fat or go on a diet)


When you go to the moon does your mass change?

no! because your mass is the same because there is the same amount of gravity


If my mass on earth is 75000 grams what is my mass on the moon?

If your mass is 75,000 grams, then that's your mass, until you eat a whole chocolate cake or go on a strictreducing diet. Your mass is your mass; it doesn't change, no matter where you go. It's the same on earth,on the moon, in space on the way from the earth to the moon, or in orbit around the earth going nowhere.What changes is your weight. That's the force of attraction between your mass and another mass, such as theearth or the moon. The more mass the other mass has, the stronger the force of attraction between it and you.That's why you weigh less on the moon. But your massdoesn't change.


Is your mass different on the moon from what it is on the Earth?

No. Your mass is the amount of stuff you're made of. You take it with you wherever you go, and it doesn't change.


Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


Would your mass change on the moon and why not?

Mass is the measurement of the amount of stuff that makes up an object. Your mass belongs to you. It doesn't depend on where you are, or on anything about the place where you are, or on what's around you. It goes wherever you go and it doesn't change. Your weight is the result of your mass and the other masses in the place where you are, so it changes as you go around visiting different neighborhoods, such as the surface of the moon.


What is its mass on the moon and on the Earth for a box of 16kg?

The mass is 16kg on both the Earth and on the Moon. Mass does not change due to gravitational forces.


Did the astronauts on the Moon's mass change?

The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.


Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?

Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.


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.


What would happen to my mass and weight if I was on the moon?

The mass would be the same where ever you go in the universe


Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?

No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.
