Mass is constant because it is the amount of matter or "stuff" that we are made of. Weight, however, which is the force of gravity on a mass, does vary because the force of gravity varies with location. So your weight would vary, but not your mass.

∙ 16y agoNo, but the weight does. Remember W=mg. If gold were measured by weight, you could buy ounces of gold in places with a low gravitational force and sell it for the same price-per-ounce in places with a high gravitational force. But ultimately gold is sold by mass....so there;s no money to be had in such a business. Too bad.

∙ 14y agoYes, mass stays the same, weight changes with the influence of gravity.

∙ 16y agoNo, but weight is. Mass is constant.

What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
Does an object weight the same everywhere in the universe?
No. It is the mass that stays the same everywhere in the universe.
What is the mass of a object on Venus?
The mass of a given object on Venus is the same as it is anywhere else.
What is the mass on the moon of a 10 N object on earth?
The mass stays the same anywhere.. its 10 N
Gravity acts on any two object with mass anywhere in a universe true or false?
True lizziealvarez APEX:)
The mass of an object remains the what anywhere in the universe?
Same
Why do scientists rely on mass rather than weight?
Because an objects mass is the same anywhere in the universe.
What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
Is there gravity anywhere else in the universe?
Where a body has mass, there is gravity.
Does an object weight the same everywhere in the universe?
No. It is the mass that stays the same everywhere in the universe.
What is the mass of a dog on mars?
The mass of a dog is the same on Mars as it would be on Earth or anywhere else in the universe. Howevere, dogs come in a wide variety of masses, ranging from terriers to mastiffs.
The mass of a man on earth is?
... the same as the mass of the same man anywhere else.
Everywhere in the universe this characteristic of an object stays the same?
The mass of an object remains the same everywhere in the universe.
What is the mass of an object anywhere in the universe?
The mass of an object is unaffected by gravitational forces. Assuming we ignore relativistic effects (mass increase to infinite and so on) we can say that an object with a mass of 5kg will have that mass anywhere in the universe (within reason). On the other hand, an object that WEIGHS 5kg on earth will have a measured weight that varies considerably depending upon what gravitational fields are affecting it.
What is your mass on other planets?
Mass is a measure of how much matter there is. Therefore your mass will remain constant on Earth, in space or anywhere in the universe. (unless you go on a diet)
What is the mass of a hammer on the moon?
The mass of a hammer on the Moon is the same as the mass of that same hammer on Earth - or in space, or anywhere else.
What is the mass of a 185 lb man on the moon?
The same as on Earth or anywhere for that matter. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.
