Nothing. Your mass isn't affected by gravity. Your weight changes though.

Your weight in earth/6= your weight in moon

Would your mass change on the moon and why not?

Mass is the measurement of the amount of stuff that makes up an object. Your mass belongs to you. It doesn't depend on where you are, or on anything about the place where you are, or on what's around you. It goes wherever you go and it doesn't change. Your weight is the result of your mass and the other masses in the place where you are, so it changes as you go around visiting different neighborhoods, such as the surface of the moon.


What would be the mass of a person on the moon?

A person's mass is the same on the moon as it is on Earth because mass does not change based on location. However, their weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.


Does your mass change as you travel to the moon?

No. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.Your weight however, will change because of the lack of gravity.---The mass won't change as mass is what you are made up of the 'stuff' your are made up of.Only the gravity will change.


Which is heavier a half moon or a full moon?

A full moon is heavier than a half moon because a full moon occurs when the moon is at its maximum size and brightness, while a half moon represents a phase midway between a new moon and a full moon, resulting in less mass and weight.


How many moons will it take to equal the mass of the earth in grams?

The first thing to say is, it doesn't matter if it's in grams or tons or whatever, the ratio (one divided by the other) will be the same. The second is that this is easy to do yourself, so you may as well. Go to the Wikipedia article on the moon. It lists the moon's mass. In fact, it even gives the moon's mass in terms of Earth's mass (which saves you the trouble of having to look up the Earth's mass). You want the reciprocal of the moon's mass in Earths - where it says for mass "7.3477 × 1022 kg (XXX Earths)" you want 1 divided by the XXX. The answer should be good to about two significant figures, so if the answer is "73.85341" (it isn't) then just say "74".

Why do tieds happen?

If you mean "tides" as in waves... Tides happen from the moon's gravity pulling up on the water.

Why on the moon would you weigh less than on earth?

the pull of gravity is not as effective on the moon because the moon is lighter therefore you end up weighing less. However, you still have the same mass, which is the amount of matter inside you, but on the moon that mass just isn't being pulled down as har as on earth. the pull of gravity is not as effective on the moon because the moon is lighter therefore you end up weighing less.

The moon is smaller therefore has less gravity making you lighter if you were on the moon.

Why do lunar eclipese happen up to 3 of more times a year?

its because the moon go around the earth faster then the sun so it makes an eclipese
