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.

What is the difference between matter and weight?
Matter has weight; weight is associated with matter. Matter can be visible; weight is a concept. Matter can change forms (water to ice to steam); weight has no transformation of such kind. A rock is a matter; the weight of a rock changes with altitude on earth and is lighter on Mars or the moon, while the mass of the rock does not change.
An objects mass is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object?
No, mass is a measure of how much matter there is. Weight is the measure of force of gravity acting on that mass. A rock has the same mass whether it's on Earth or the Moon or Jupiter, or floating out in space. The weight for each of these situations will be quite different.
Are mass and weight the same thing?
No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.
What is the weight of a rock that has a mass of 7 kg?
On the earth, a mass of 7 kg weighs 68.6 newtons (15.4 pounds). On the moon, the same 7 kg weighs 11.2 newtons (2.52 pounds). It all depends on the gravitational field you are in!
What is the center of gravity of a rock of 8kg?
That completely depends on the rock's shape, and on how its mass is distributed. It has nothing to do with the value of its mass or weight.
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.
A rock has a mass of 0.8 kg on earth and weighs 1.8 pounds it weighs 0.29 pounds on the moon how many kg is its mass?
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring. The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 16.3 kg. What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
If a rock has a mass of 0.15 kg on the moon. What mass will it be on earth?
0.15 kg. Mass doesn't change, (unless the object is moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light).But weight does change, depending on what else is around.Your rock with 0.15 kg of mass weighs 1.47 newtons (5.3 ounces) on the surfaceof the earth, and 0.24 newton (0.57 ounce) on the surface of the moon.
If a rock was taken from earth to the moon how would it affect its mass and weight?
The rock's mass remains the same, it will not change. However it's weight does change because the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 the acceleration on Earth. W = mg (weight )= (mass)*(gravitational acceleration) If a rock's mass is 10 kg then: On Earth g=9.81 m/s^2 On the Moon g= 1.63 m/s^2 W(earth) = m*g = (10kg)*(9.81m/s^2) = 98.1 kgm/s^2 = 98.1 N W(moon) = m*g = (10kg)*(1.63m/s^2) = 16.3 kgm/s^2 = 16.3 N
What has more mass a rock in earth or a rock on the moon?
a rock in earth

If a rock on the moon has a mass of 1.2kg what is its mass on earth?
The mass of the rock stays the same, it's a constant.If you're asking what it's weight is; you just have to multiply it by the Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.81m/s2), which should come out as 11.8kg (correct to 3s.f)
What is the weight of a rock that has the mass of 7 kg?
The rock's weight or force in Newtons is 68.65

How much would a rock weight on the moon if its weight was 6 grams on the earth?
Okay, so the formula for weight is Mass* Gravity. Since the mass of ur object is 6 grams (.01322 lbs) and the gravitational force on the moon is -1.6m/s^2 then your weight would be .01322*-1.6m/s^2 which equals .0211 Lbs. Hope this helps!
