Mass and weight are different.
BUTTo make it complicated they are both stated in pounds or Kilograms SoWeight is how much force is holding to the planets surface. On the moon this is about one sixth of earthMass is the same on earth and the moon or in deep space and is used to calculate how much energy it will take to move you.
The answer you are looking for:Yes, the Mass of a person is the same on the moon and Earth.

Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
How much does the sun weigh?
Weight is a function of gravity and mass. On Earth, the weight of a person is gauged by a scale, of the mass of that person and the amount of gravity pulling that person towards the centre of the Earth. On the Moon, with the same person and scales, that person would weight 1/6th they do on Earth, because the Moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. So the Sun, has nothing pulling on it, so it can be said to weigh nothing. However, it does have mass and that is 1.9891×1030 kg.
The mass of a man on earth is?
... the same as the mass of the same man anywhere else.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
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.
Why a person has a heavier mass on earth than on the moon?
He hasn't. The mass is the same, but the graviational pull from the Earth is stronger than that from the moon.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
Would a person mass or weight change if that person left the earth and went to the moon?
your mass stays the same. yoir WIEGHT changes
What iner planet has same mass as earth?
Venus has almost the same mass as Earth.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
If a person's mass is seventy kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?
The mass on the Moon is still seventy kilograms (the same as on Earth) because mass is an inherent property of matter. However the 70 kilogram person would weigh 11.6 kilograms on the Moon because weight depends on gravity and the Moon's gravity is 0.1654 of that of the Earth.
What would a person who weighs 610Newtons in earth way in another planet that has the same mass as earth but half its radius?
Applesauce squared.
If a person has a mass of 71kg on earth what would be their mass on the moon be?
11.83 that is the 1/6 of his mass in earth

The mass of a man on earth is?
... the same as the mass of the same man anywhere else.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
