-- Your mass doesn't change. No matter where you go, mass is what you bring with you.

-- If you take your mass to the Moon, it will weigh about 16.5% as much as it weighs on Earth.

If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 24 pounds 13.2 ounces on the moon.

In between ... on the way there, comfy and coasting in your space capsule on

the way from the Earth to the Moon, you would weigh zero, and you would

float around in the space capsule. Unless you snugged a loop of your shoelace

around a hook on the wall in order to get some sleep.

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.


How would your present weight change if earth had twice the mass that it does now?

It would double.


If you double the mass of an object on earth do you double its weight?

Yes. The weight is simply the mass, multiplied by the gravity.


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.


Why would your weight would change if you orbited the earth in the space shuttle but your mass would not?

Mass is the amount of material that you are comprised of, whereas weight is how heavy that mass is in the level of gravity where it resides.


How would you present weight change if earth had twice the mass it does now?

If Earth had twice its current mass, the gravitational force would increase, and objects would weigh twice as much as they do now. This means that a person weighing 150 pounds on Earth would weigh 300 pounds on the hypothetical Earth with double the mass. The weight change would be a direct result of the increase in gravitational pull due to the added mass.


How would your present weight change if earth twice the mass that it doe now?

It would double.


How would your weight change on the surface of an Earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth's?

It would be greater.


How would your weight change on the surface of an earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth?

It would be greater.


How would your weight change on the surface of an earth-sized planet whose mass was greater than the Earth's.?

It would be greater.


Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?

Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
