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.


Would your weight and mass change if you were on the moon?

(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.


What would 1 kg weight on the moon?

Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.


Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?

Yes, both mass and weight are affected by gravity on the moon. Mass remains the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight changes because it depends on the gravitational force acting on an object. As gravity on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person would weigh less on the moon compared to on Earth.


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.

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 mass and weight changes with change of place?

Weight changes depending on the gravitational pull exerted on an object, i.e. if it is on the Earth or if it is on the moon. Mass, however, remains constant.


What is the relationship between wight and mass?

Weight changes based on were you are while mass doesn't. For example, if you are on the moon your weight is much less but your mass is the same.


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.


Where would a person have less mass?

A persons mass never changes. A persons WEIGHT changes according to the amount of gravitational force put on the object. Some 1 on the moon WEIGHS less on the moon but still has the same mass. Mass plays a factor in the weight but a persons mass never changes by where the person is or so I think.


Would mass increae on the moon?

Mass stays the same everywhere, it is the weight that changes because of the gravity force


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.

If you were to take a radio to the moon would correctly describe the changes to its mass and weight?

The mass of the radio would remain the same on the moon, as mass is an intrinsic property. However, the weight of the radio would be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's lower gravitational pull.
