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.
Your MASS (kg) is always the same not matter what the force of gravity. Your WEIGHT (N) however is different as the gravity of whatever planet has an effect on each atom making it heavier or lighter. To answer your question, only your weght would be lighter on the moon.
It wouldn't change. Your weight, however, would be about a sixth of what it is now.
Your weight would increase on Jupiter due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth. However, your mass would remain the same regardless of your location in the universe, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location.
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.
It would double.
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
An example is when an object is moved from one location to another where the gravitational pull is different. Weight is dependent on gravity, so a change in gravity would cause the weight of the object to change while its mass remains the same.

GRAVITYThe acceleration due to gravity is a force related to Earth's mass and is not dependent on its rotation - gravity would not change if the Earth ceased to rotate. WEIGHT However, if the Earth ceased to rotate, someone standing on the equator would weigh more - this increase in weight effect would decrease as you moved the person to the poles to do the comparison.
Weight is a measurement of the gravitational attraction of the earth to the mass of a body. Since the mass stays the same wherever the body is, the gravitational attraction must change from location to location. A body weighing 120 grams at sea level, would weigh slightly less as it was moved away from the center of gravity of the earth, for example, up a mountain. It would weigh slightly more the further below sea level it was moved. Suspending (or immersing) a body in water would also change its apparent weight, though this would be a reaction to the bodies buoyancy rather than a change in gravitational attraction. - wjs1632 -
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!
yes it would change
It would double.
It would be greater.
