Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.

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.


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!


Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?

Your weight on the moon would be about 16.5% of your weight on Earth. This is because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 16.5 pounds on the moon.


How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?

yes it would change


On the Moon is my weight is the same?

You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.


Would your weight change if you went on the moon?

Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.


Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?

Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.


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.


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.


How would your weight change if you went to the moon?

the force of gravity on the moon is much weaker than that of earth. that means that you are getting pulled down more on earth than you are on the moon resulting in a lighter weight. About 1/6 of your weight on earth. See many related answers, all of which say the same, but with various extra information.


Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?

The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
