Does weight change from earth to moon?

yes because you'll weigh lesser on the moon then on earth


What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?

His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on 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 does the weight of an object change when you go to the moon?

Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.


How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?

-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.


If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?

Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.


Why does the weight of an object change when you go the moon?

It is because the gravity on the moon is one sixth of the gravity on the Earth


Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?

The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.


What is the mass of a 30N chicken on the moon?

The mass will not change. Its weight measured on the Moon would be 1/6th of what it is on Earth.


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.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
