Would the mass of an elephant be less on the moon?

No, the mass of the elephant will never change, but on the moon the elephant would weigh less. Weight is the affect of gravitation wich is the attraction of two bodies that have mass. The mass of the moon is smaller then that of the earth so the gravitational pull would be less.


If an object has a mass of 20kg on earth what is the mass of the object on moon?

The mass on the moon will remain the same, 20 kg If the object's mass is 20 kg, then it's 20 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars, or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another. Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.


Would the mass of an elephant on the moon be less than its mass on mars?

No. Mass never changes. But, you are probably thinking about weight. Weight is the measure of how much gravity is acting on an object. Weight is a force acting on an object, due to gravity. Mass is a property of matter. Mass is measured in kilograms/grams so on. Often somebody will say that something "weighs 20 kilograms", though. This is a common thought, that the terms are interchangeable. Pounds originated as a force unit, but now there is a pound-mass unit that is in use. Your bathroom scale may display pounds or kilograms, for example. We think of this as weight. Most actually measure the amount of force (through springs or electronic pressure sensors). And if you went to the moon, less stepped on the same scale, the reading would be less, because gravity is less, there. But you still have the same amount of mass. Suppose you "weigh" 60 kilograms, on Earth. And you acquire some weights that add up to 60 kg. If you get a balance, like a see-saw and put the weights on one end, and you sit on the other, it will balance. If you go to the moon and perform the same experiment, they will still balance.


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.


Does Mars have a sun?

No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.

Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.

Is the moon about the same size as Mars?

Mars is about twice as big as the Moon.


Who has a greater mass a 30N man on earth or 30N man on moon?

Neither. Mass is mass. Newtons is a force not a mass, 30 N is the same on Mars or anywhere else. It is 30 N


When does the elephant and a mouse become same in weight?

the moon


Is the mass of the astronaut on Mars bigger smaller or the same compared with on Earth?

You would have the same mass on the Earth as you would on the moon. You would just weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity there than on the moon.

Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?

Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.
