Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
What will happen of your mass if you go up to moon?
Your mass remains the same regardless of where you are in the universe. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it doesn't change as you move to different locations. However, your weight would be different on the moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.
How are mass and weight affected if a block of iron is transported to the moon?
The mass of the block remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, the weight of the block would decrease on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls on an object's mass.
Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
The weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth, causing weaker gravitational pull. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so lower gravity on the Moon results in less weight for objects.
Why is weight not the same as mass?
For example, the same object (with the same mass) will be affected differently by Earth's gravity, and by the lesser gravity on the Moon (i.e., its weight will change).
Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?
Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.

Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.

What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
Is gravity or mass in outerspace?
Mass is everywhere! it has nothing to do with gravity or weight. Gravity is not in space however it is on the moon!
Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
How are mass and weight affected if a block of iron is transported to the moon?
The mass of the block remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, the weight of the block would decrease on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls on an object's mass.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
The weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth, causing weaker gravitational pull. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so lower gravity on the Moon results in less weight for objects.
