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

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

How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
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.
Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
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 is the mass of a 30N chicken on the moon?
The mass will not change. Its weight measured on the Moon would be 1/6th of what it is on Earth.
If oranges weigh 16.7 newtons on earth what would their weight change be on the moon?
on the moon it will weigh roughly 1/6 the amount of newtons as it does on earth. So 16.7 on earth would be about 2.8 newtons 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.

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!

If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?
yes it would change
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.

If you weigh 50 kg on earth what is your mass on the moon?
The same as it is on the Earth. Mass does not change, weight does.If you weighed 50kg on Earth you would weigh about 8.3kg on the Moon.
How your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
Your weight on the moon is about 16.55% of your weight on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you'll weigh 33.1 pounds on the moon. Plus, of course, your space suit and all the rest of the gear you have to wear in order to survive on the moon.
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.
