Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
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.
Why would an object transported from earth to the moon have the same mass but different weight?
Gravity is different on the earth than it is on the moon. An object will weigh more on Earth since there is more gravitational pull on the object. However, mass isn't dependent on gravity, and in physics, the formula for Weight is W = ma. This means weight is dependent on the acceleration that an object has in a downward direction, and in this case, we would be focusing on gravitational acceleration that is applied to the object.
Would an object weigh more on the moon?
Any object weighs more on the moon than it does on an asteroid or comet, but less than it weighs on earth ... only about 16% of its earthly weight.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that 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.

Why an abject weight more on earth than on moon?
The Earth is bigger so has more gravity so object weighs more
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.

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.
What is weight of moon?
For astronomical objects, it is more appropriate to talk about the mass of an object, not about its weight. The Moon has a mass of 7.35 x 1022 kilogram, that is about 1.2% of Earth's mass.
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.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
Would an object weight more or less on the moon and why?
Less, because the pull of gravity is weaker than on earth
