Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. This isn't going to change. You're not going to suddenly become a giant on the moon or shrink to the size of a mosquito out in space. Your mass stays the same - what is different is how gravity affects that mass to create what we call your weight.

∙ 7y agomass is not variable and does not change. It is weight that changes - weight = mass x gravity acceleration so weight is less on the moon.

What would your weight and mass be if your were on the moon?
Your mass is the same wherever you go. Your weight on the moon is about 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
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.
Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?
falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
Is the mass of the astronaut on Mars bigger smaller or the same compared with on Earth?
You would have the same mass on the Earth as you would on the moon. You would just weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity there than on the moon.
On the moon would your mass be less that it is on Earth and your weight would be the same?
False
An astronaut on the moon would have the same as on Earth?
-- name -- age -- mass
Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Yes.
If you weigh 50 kg on earth what is your mass on the moon?
The same as it is on the Earth. Mass does not change, weight does.If you weighed 50kg on Earth you would weigh about 8.3kg on the Moon.
How would the weight and mass change if you moved from earth to the moon?
First, mass and weight are not the same thing. Second, due to the difference in the gravitational pull of Earth versus the moon, you weigh more on Earth and less on the moon, although your mass stays the same.
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.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
