Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.

Would person weigh more or less on the moon?
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, and its Mass is much less. Thus the pull of gravity is much less on the Moon.Therefore, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth, even though your Mass would be the same.
Would you weigh more or less on the moon and why?
less. the pull of gravity is less on the moon, so there is less acting upon you're body. This is because the moon has less mass. to see what I mean, read Einstein's theory of relativity
When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?
You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on 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 weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
Why does the moon have more gravity than the earth?
It doesn't. The moon has less gravity than Earth because it has less mass.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
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.
Is the mass of an astronaut more or less on the moon or on earth?
The mass of an astronaut remains the same whether they are on the moon or on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object has and is independent of the gravitational force acting on it. However, the weight of an astronaut would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
Would a person have least amount of mass at sea level Mount Everest or the Moon?
None of the above. Mass of an object does not change depending on location. The person's weight would be unmeasurably more at sea level on Earth, a little less on Everest, and much less (1/6th) on the Moon. But their mass is the same at all these locations. There is no other answer.
