Would the weight of a person be the same on the surface of the moon and the earth?

The weight of an object is the product of its mass (M) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). We represent this product as mass, m times (x) acceleration (g) = mg.
On the moon, (g) is less than that on the earth. Hence every object on the moon will have a lower or smaller weight when compared with its weight on the earth.
The quantity of matter in both locations will be the same, but the product or weight will be different. This is taught in physics and experienced by astronauts. That is why astronauts can move around and carry weights with less hindrance. A man on the moon could, (except for the strings and tubes that hold him) run faster on the moon when compared with his speed on earth if he has as much oxygen to breath.

Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?
yes
If a person weight 100 pound in Earth how will he weight in Saturn?
10000 poundsIf a person weights 100 lbs on earth what would they weight on Saturn ?
What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?
The mass will remain the same, but the weight will be one sixth of what it was on earth, since weight depends on the local force of gravity. The moons gravity is one sixth of the earths.
What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth
What would a person's weight be on the moon if they weigh 150lbs on Earth?
25.5 pounds.
How much would a lbs person weigh on mars?
The answer depends on the person's weight on Earth but each pound's weight on Earth would be equivalent to 0.376 pound's weight on Mars.
Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?
yes
If a person weight 100 pound in Earth how will he weight in Saturn?
10000 poundsIf a person weights 100 lbs on earth what would they weight on Saturn ?
What is the force of gravity on a person of object at the surface of the earth?
That's the force we usually call the "weight" of the person or object.
How would your weight change on the surface of an Earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth's?
It would be greater.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth-sized planet whose mass was greater than the Earth's.?
It would be greater.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth?
It would be greater.
If you weigh 120 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Pluto?
Since Pluto's gravitational pull on its surface is only about 6% that of the Earth on its surface, you would weigh 6% of your Earth weight if you were to stand on Pluto's surface. So, to convert your Earth-weight to your Pluto-weight, you have to multiply your Earth weight by 0.06. In this case, if you weigh 125 lbs on the Earth, you would weigh 7.43 lbs on Pluto.
How does gravity affect weight on a planet?
The importantidea here is a planet's "surface gravity". That's the measure of the planet's gravitational "pull"at its surface. The larger this number, the heavier the weight ofan object on the surface of the planet. For example, the "surface gravity" on Mars is only 38% of the Earth's. So, if you could be on the surface of Mars, your weight would be 38% of your weight on Earth.
What would a 100 pound person weigh on earth surface?
Well it depends on where this person was weighed. If they were weighed on Earth, then they would be 100 pounds.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
How much would 100kg person weigh on venus?
The person would be about 89 kilograms in weight. The person would still have a mass of 100 kilograms, of course. The strict scientific unit of weight is the "newton" because that is the unit of force and weight exerts a force. The 100 kg person weighs 890 newtons on Venus. However, normally we say "kilograms" or "kilograms weight", as long as we are clear that weight and mass are different.
