Why is the density of lead the same on the Moon as it is on Earth?

Density is based off mass and volume, not weight and volume. Weight is a measurement of gravity, and changes based on strong the pull of gravity is in the area. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and does not change based on the pull of gravity. Density is Mass/Volume. Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. The more condensed matter is, the higher its density.

Does the moon have the same density than the earth?
no it is about 1/6 the density of the earth
Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Yes.
Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?
yes
How does the density of the earth provide evidence that the interior of the earth is denser that the surface?
The density of the Earth as a whole has been calculated by observing the orbits of the moon and artificial satellites, trajectories of near earth asteroids, etc. We can measure the density of materials from which the surface is composed. The two are not the same. That tells us that the density of the interior is different from the density of surface materials. Since the overall density is greater than the density of the surface materials, the interior must be denser still in order to bring the overall density to what has been observed and calculated.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Does the moon have the same density than the earth?
no it is about 1/6 the density of the earth
Does the earth have more mass or density than the moon?
No; the Earth has over eighty times the mass of the Moon. Our Moon is overall about three fifths the density of the Earth; which is itself a scientific curiosity since this would mean the lunar core has an unusually low density.
Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Yes.
Why does the earth have a greater mass than the moon?
Because it is about the same density, and is much larger than the moon.
Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?
yes
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of earth's layers?
You are correct! This is the reason why many scientists believe that the moon was once long ago part of the earth, that an asteroid possibly dislodged, or the roation of the earth spun off a piece of the planet.
Does density change on moon?
No density stays the same if you go to the moon.
Does one cubic centimeter of lead have the same density as one cubic centimeter of iron?
Any amount of lead has the same density as one cubic centimeter of lead, but no amount of lead has the same density as any amount of iron.
What would happen if the moon was 10 percent of the Earth's diameter?
If the Moon was 10 percent of the Earth's diameter and at the same distance with the same density it would have a different orbital speed, would look smaller and affect the ocean tides less.If it were 10% of Earth's diameter and have the same mass as the present Moon, it would just look smaller and not be able to cause eclipses of the Sun.
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.
