Your mass is the same wherever you go. Your weight

on the moon is about 16.5% of what it is on Earth.

What is the weight and mass of a pencil in the moon?

On the Moon, the mass of a pencil would remain the same (since mass is an intrinsic property of an object), so it would still be the mass it has on Earth. However, the weight of the pencil would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the lower gravity on the Moon.


How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?

Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.


Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?

Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.


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.


Would your weight change if you went on the moon?

Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.

What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!


Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?

falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.


Would your weight and mass change on the moon?

So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays 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.

How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?

If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.

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.

An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?

If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.on earth the mass is equal to the weight.on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull


If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?

The mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located, so the object would still have a mass of 120 g on the moon. However, its weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
