-- the intensity of solar radiation on it
-- its distance from the nearest McDonald's
the force of gravity on the surface of the moon is about 1/6th the gravity on the surface of the earth so an object on the moon would weigh about 1/6th what it weighs on earth. The moon´s gravitational field is not strong enough to hold an atmosphere. As the atmosphere in part acts as a heatsink the temperature difference between day and night on the moon is far larger than on the earth.

Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
weight
How does the mass and the object on the earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
What object in space is closest to the earth?
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.
Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
When the moon is growing bigger it is known as?
The moon changes it's shape as it orbits the Earth. When it goes from a crescent to full, it's called "Waxing". When it goes from Full to crescent it's called "Waning".
Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
weight
Is the distance of the moon from the earth the same as it complete the revolution?
The distance between Earth and Moon changes. Like any object going in an orbit around another object, the Moon moves around Earth in an ellipse, not in an exact circle.
How does the mass and the object on the earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
What is an object tendency to resist changes in motion is?
If your mass has 40 kg on earth what is your mass on moon
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
From Earth why does the moon appear to be the largest object in the sky?
The moon is the closest object to Earth.
What object in space is closest to the earth?
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
How do the earth realate to the sun and moon?
The Earth goes around the sun, the moon goes around the Earth.
What changes of the moon do you see from Earth?
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
