The pull of gravity depends on the distance between the two objects. The total gravity of the earth is measured, roughly, from the center of the earth. The same with your body - your "center of gravity" is somewhere around your belly button. As you climb a mountain, the distance between your center and the earth's center gets a little bit longer, so the gravity is a little bit weaker. The end result is you weigh a little bit less. The same thing happens as you fly higher in an airplane. Keep going even higher in, say, the space shuttle, and eventually the gravity becomes so weak that you are practically weightless. (The mathematics and physics behind all of this is more complicated. I have tried to give a simpler answer, so before all you scientists blast me for over-simplifying, remember we don't know who asked this question in the first place, and how technical they want to get...)
What else can I help you with?
Suppose you took a trip to the moon how and why would your weight change would your mass change too?
Your mass would stay the same, but your weight would change. Weight is the effect of gravity acting upon an object, where as mass is the amount of matter an object has. Your "weight" measured on the Moon would be one-sixth your weight on Earth.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
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.
How would your present weight change if earth had twice the mass that it does now?
It would double.
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
Name something you would change if you could in your life?

What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
If you climbed a mountain how would your mass change?
Your mass would not change when climbing a mountain. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, so it remains constant regardless of your location or elevation. However, your weight might appear to change due to variations in gravitational force at different altitudes.
How old would you be if you climbed mount everest when you were 10?
If you climbed Mount Everest aged 10 then you would be aged 10
If you were on the moon there would be a change in your?
weight
How does mass effect an objects weight?
It doesn't really. mass is what is inside something. For example, if you went to the moon, you wouldn't lose anything therefore, your mass would not change. But if you went to the moon, your weight would go down. This is because there is a much smaller gravitational pull on the moon than the earth does. So, basically the weight of something is decided by how powerful the gravitational pull is on you.
Why is it that your weight and not your mass that would change if you land on Mars?
Your weight would change, as weight is dependant upon the gravitational strength of the body that you are landing on. Your mass is essentially you as a whole it has an arbitrary value, so that weight can be calculated later on.
What is something you'd measure in weight?
You would measure something in weight depending on the situation, for example, you would measure the weight of moving boxes to make sure that the truck isn't overloaded. Most people measure themselves with height and weight.
How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
Suppose you took a trip to the moon how and why would your weight change would your mass change too?
Your mass would stay the same, but your weight would change. Weight is the effect of gravity acting upon an object, where as mass is the amount of matter an object has. Your "weight" measured on the Moon would be one-sixth your weight on Earth.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
An example is when an object is moved from one location to another where the gravitational pull is different. Weight is dependent on gravity, so a change in gravity would cause the weight of the object to change while its mass remains the same.
