Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the object weight is different?

The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.

What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
What is apparent weight how the apparent weight is different for different condition?
Apparent Weight is the weight of an Object in a SPECIFIC Gravitational condition, such as on Earth. The same object on the Moon would have a different (Lesser) Apparent Weight. The only constant is the Mass of the Object in both of those locations.
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
How is weight and mass different?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of force of gravity on an object
What is difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object or substance. Weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object/substance. Mass will not change; the amount of matter will not fluctuate due to gravitational forces, so something that has a mass of 4 grams on earth will have a mass of 4 grams on the moon. But because the force of gravity is different, the weight of an object on the earth will weigh differently than the same object on the moon.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.
Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
Will The mass of an object will be the same on the Earth as it is on the Moon?
Yeah, but the weight will be different
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on the earth but the objects weight is different.?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
Why is the of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
What will be different on Saturn your mass or your weight why?
Mass is a property of the object, no matter what else is around. It doesn't change, regardless of where the object is. Weight is the result of gravitational interaction between the object and something else, so it depends on what else is around. Your weight on Saturn would be different from your weight on Earth, because Saturn's mass is different from Earth'smass, and your distance from Saturn's center would be different from the distance between you and Earth's center.
Is weight a mass?
No. "Mass" is the stuff an object is made of, and never changes."Weight" is the force of gravity between the object and another mass.Weight depends on what the other mass is, and how far the object is from it.That's why the same mass has different weights on the earth and moon.
