Yes, a solid would have the same mass on the moon as it would on earth. An object's mass is independent of the force of gravity, so its mass would remain the same even in the absence of gravity (e.g. on a spaceship). What would change is the weight, which is measured with mass in proportion to gravity.

Is it true if an object mass will change if you move it from earth to the moon?

Density depends on mass and volume. Neither of those quantities changes when a solid is moved to the moon.

Will the mass or weight of a rock change on the moon?

180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon. Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.

If an object has a mass on earth is 60 units what will be the mass of the same object on the moon?

Exactly the same. Mass is the same everywhere. The weight will be 1/6 less on the moon though.


Why is it that when a solid dissolves in a liquid the mass of the solution that is made is the same as the mass of the solid added to the liquid?

this is because the amount of solute in the solution will have the same number of moles as that of the solid.


Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.


How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
