The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).

On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.


Are astronauts on the moon weightless?

No, astronauts on the moon are not weightless. They have weight due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means they experience a lesser force of gravity compared to Earth, allowing them to move more easily on the lunar surface.


Calculate your weight using the acceleration due to gravity g on earth Compare your weight on earth and your weight the moon?

Weight can be calculated using the formula W=mg, where m is mass and g is gravity. Your weight on Moon is 16.5% of what you experience on Earth.

Did the astronauts on the Moon's mass change?

The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.


How do astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness?

Astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness because they are in a state of continuous free fall towards the Earth. This creates the sensation of floating in space, as there is no force pushing against them to create the feeling of weight.
