If you were on another planet your weight would change because there is either more or less gravity. Think about it this way, if you were on a scale on lets say Jupiter, there would be more gravity so the gravity would be pulling you down harder, that way you would be heavier on a scale. Does that make sense? Now lets say you were on the moon. The moon has less gravity so there is less gravity pulling you down. Therefore you would weigh less. Mass is your 3D shape. Its not like you would loose your head on your way to the moon or like you would get an extra arm because your traveling to Saturn. Your shape (mass) stays the same. Your weight only depends on the amount of gravity on a planet.

How much difference is there between the astronauts mass on earth and on the moon?
The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.
Does mass change depending a person's weight?
Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that remains the same regardless of the object's location or the gravitational force acting upon it. Weight, on the other hand, depends on the gravitational force and is determined by the mass of an object and the acceleration due to gravity. So, a person's mass does not change, but their weight can vary depending on the gravitational force.
Characteristics about weight?
yes because you can weigh the object but you don't change the object at all
Would their be a change in mass if you were in space?
in mass no, but in weight, yes. Mass is a measure of the matter residing in an object while weight is how much gravity affects it. in a 0-G environment one would have a weight of 0% normal mass and a mass of 100% normal mass.
Why would your mass be the same on Earth and the Moon?
Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. This isn't going to change. You're not going to suddenly become a giant on the moon or shrink to the size of a mosquito out in space. Your mass stays the same - what is different is how gravity affects that mass to create what we call your weight.
What would be the mass of a person on the moon?
A person's mass is the same on the moon as it is on Earth because mass does not change based on location. However, their weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
What are the relations between mass and weight?
The relations between mass and weight are that mass shows how much an object contains. This is about the same thing as weight - how much an object contains.
Is weight how heavy an object is?
Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It is the measure of how much gravity pulls on an object. The weight of an object can change depending on its location in the universe, while its mass will remain the same.
What is the difference between mass and weight and how are they different from each other?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass is constant, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull. In simpler terms, mass is how much "stuff" is in an object, while weight is the force that pulls that object towards the Earth.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?
Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.
Is the moon lighter or heavier then the sun?
The sun is far more massive than the moon.
Why is your mass here on earth different from your mass on the moon?
It isn't. Mass is a measure of how much matter something contains, and that doesn't change as you travel - apart from eating, drinking, sweating, going to the toilet etc. Weight OTOH is what you get when gravity pulls at your mass. So if you go someplace where gravity is different than Earth's, your weight will change.
