Which one would change if you were on the moon weight or mass and why?

If you were on the moon, your weight would change, but your mass would remain the same. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and varies depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on. Since the moon has about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, you would weigh significantly less on the moon, while your mass, a measure of the amount of matter in your body, would remain constant.


If you were on the moon there would be a change in your?

weight


How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?

Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.


Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

Your weight would change on the moon because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth, so you would feel lighter. However, your mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, which does not change.


Does your weight stay the same no matter where you go like the moon?

Your weight would change depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on. For example, your weight on the Moon would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravity.


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.


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

No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.


Would your weight and mass change on the moon?

So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.


Would a person's height change on the moon?

Unless you are wearing a space suit, without the Earths atmosphere, your body will expand with horrific consequences. So without any external pressure, your body volume will increase on the moon.


What would be the effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the moon?

The mass stays the same, the weight is about one sixth as here on Earth. The astronauts had to learn how to move there... it's harder getting stopped and doing corners, as you don't have the weight and traction you are used to.


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!


Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
