Your weight would decrease if you landed on the moon, because the moon's gravitational force is about a sixth of Earth's. That means that your weight would decrease greatly.

When an astronaut goes to the moon which will decrease his mass or his weight?

The astronaut from the country that has a space program that wants to send a person to the moon's weight will decrease due to the fact that weight is directly related to gravity.


Analyze How your weight would change with time if you were on a space ship traveling away from earth toward the moon?

As you travel away from Earth towards the moon, your weight would gradually decrease due to the reduced gravitational pull from Earth and the increasing distance between you and Earth. In the absence of other forces affecting your weight, it would continue to decrease until you reach the point where the gravitational pull from the moon becomes dominant and your weight would start to increase as you get closer to the moon.


Would your weight increase on the moon?

No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.


What would happen to your weight if you went to the moon?

On the moon as the gravity is less you will only weigh 1/6th of your natural weight there.


If you took this object to the moon what would happen to its weight?

If you took an object to the moon, its weight would decrease significantly because the moon's gravitational pull is only about one-sixth that of Earth's. While the object's mass remains the same, its weight—defined as the force exerted by gravity on that mass—would be much lighter on the moon. This means the object would be easier to lift and move compared to its weight on Earth.
