Your mass is the same wherever you go.
You weigh more on the Earth, because your weight depends on your own mass
and on the mass that's attracting you to it, and Earth's mass is about 80 times
more than the moon's mass.

What weights more earth or moon?
The mass of the Earth is six times more than the moon.
How are the size and mass of the moon different for that of the earth?
Size: The Moon has about 1/4 of the diameter of Earth. Mass: The Moon has about 1/81 of the mass of 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.
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.
Does the moon have a stronger gravity then the earth?
As gravity is related to mass, the object with more mass has more gravity. Thus as the Earth is more massive than the moon, it will have more gravity. This is why the moon orbits the Earth, and why the Earth orbits the Sun.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
What weights more earth or moon?
The mass of the Earth is six times more than the moon.
Why is it the mass of the moon is less than the mass of the earth?
Because earth contains more matter as compared to moon.
Do you have more mass on the earth or on the moon?
yes
Explain how to calculate the position of the common centre of mass of the Earth-Moon system?
The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon. (For more than 2 objects, the calculation is somewhat more complicated - reading about "center of mass" can give you an idea.)The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon.

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.
Does moon have a larger mass than earth?
Yes, the Moon has about 1/81 of the Earth's mass.
Do Earth and the moon have the same mass?
No. Earth is about 80 times more massive than the moon.
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.
What has more mass a rock in earth or a rock on the moon?
a rock in earth
Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
Earth has more gravity. The elephant's mass will hardly change if you take it to the Moon, and:weight = mass x gravity
What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?
Mass does not alter or N=Newton, a force so a 10N on the moon have much more mass than a 10N on the Earth. (Earth has more gravity, so a lesser mass will have the same force.)
