How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?

Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.


What would your weight and mass be if your were on the moon?

Your weight on the moon would be about 16.5% of your weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. However, your mass would remain the same regardless of location, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.


Why does an astronaut still have the same mass on the moon?

Your mass is the amount of matter that contains, it is your weight that will differ due to gravity. The astronaut still has the same amount of matter whether he be on earth, in space, or on the moon, though due to the different strenghts of gravity he will weight the most on earth, 1/6th of this on the moon, and be weightless in outer space.


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.


Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?

Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.

Would you have less matter on the earth or the moon?

You always have the same amount of matter, regardless of where you go.But, the weight of matter is less on the moon than it is on Earth.Just remember, weight and mass are two different things.


Would mass be more or less on the moon?

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

Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?

Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.

What happens to the mass on the moon?

Your mass (and inertia) are the same on the Moon as they are on Earth. However your weight on the Moon will be less than when you are on Earth. This is because MASS is an intrinsic property of matter while weight is caused by your local gravity field.

Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the object weight is different?

The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.


Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?

Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.


How can you weigh more on the earth than you would on the moon and still have the same mass in both places?

Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.
