Earth has more gravity. The elephant's mass will hardly change if you take it to the Moon, and:weight = mass x gravity

Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
If gold were sold by weight (instead of mass) would you rather buy it on Earth or on the Moon?
On Earth - bringing the gold from the Moon back to Earth would cost more than the gold is worth.Note that under the given assumptions, you would get more gold on the Moon for the same price.
What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?
Mass does not alter or N=Newton, a force so a 10N on the moon have much more mass than a 10N on the Earth. (Earth has more gravity, so a lesser mass will have the same force.)
Would an object weigh more at the top of a mountain or at sea level?
You would weigh more at sea level. As you get father away from the surface of the earth, the force of gravity is weaker
How much would an object weigh on earth if weighs 25 pounds on mercury?
Due to gravity, an object would weigh 3 times more on Earth than on Mercury, so the answer would be 75lbs
Would an elephant weigh more or less on the moon?
Less. Because the moons gravitational pull is less than Earths. For instance, if the elephant weighed 1000lbs on Earth it would weigh 166lbs on the moon.
Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?
No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.
Does a rock weigh more than a moon?
No. Any object on the moon would weigh about a sixth of what it does on Earth.
Do you way more on earth or on the moon?
You would weigh way less on the moon. For example. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 16.6 pounds on the moon.
What causes an object to weigh more on earth than the moon?
the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon
Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?
You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.
Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?
You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on the Moon.
Does the object weigh more on the earth or moon?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Why do you weigh more than on the moon?
The gravity that pulls us to the earth is much weaker on the moon.
Why would you weigh more on earth then moon?
The reason we weigh the amount we do is because the gravity is as strong as it is. However on the moon the gravity is not as strong, therefore we weigh less.
