The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.

What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?

His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.


If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?

No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!

What would happen to your weight is earths mass remained the same?

If earth's mass were to remain the same, your weight would be constant, i.e. it would not change.


Does your weight change if you travel to Jupiter?

Your weight would change if you traveled to Jupiter due to its strong gravitational pull. Jupiter has a higher gravitational force than Earth, so you would weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.


Is it possible for an objects weight to change while its mass remains constant explain?

Yes, an object's weight can change even if its mass remains constant. This happens if it moves to a place with different gravity. An object on the Moon would weigh only one sixth of what it did on Earth.
