It doesn't. An object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is. What changes is
the object's weight, because weight is the gravitational attraction between the object
and something else that also has mass. So the weight is going to depend on what the
other object is, how much mass IT has, and how far apart the two objects are.
An object that weighs 6 pounds when it's on Earth weighs about 1 pound when it's
on the Moon.
What else can I help you with?
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
No, the mass density of an object would not be the same on the moon as on Earth. The mass of the object would remain the same, but since the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than that on Earth, the volume of the object would decrease on the moon, resulting in a different mass density calculation compared to Earth.
If an objects mass on earth is 4.2 what is its mass on the moon?
It's 4.2 . An object's mass doesn't change. The thing that does change is the gravitational forcethat attracts the object to another mass. The strength of that force depends on the mass of bothobjects. The force on the first object is what we call the object's "weight".
If an object has a mass of 20kg on earth what is the mass of the object on moon?
The mass on the moon will remain the same, 20 kg If the object's mass is 20 kg, then it's 20 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars, or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another. Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.
If an object has a mass of 12.5 grams What is the mass on the moon?
The same as on earth because mass remains constant everywhere if you are thinking about the "weight" then it will be changed .
Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.

Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?
The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
What is the amount of matter that an object has if the object were on the moon this would not change?
The amount of matter an object has, also known as its mass, would remain the same whether the object is on the moon or on Earth. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and is independent of the object's location. However, the object's weight (the force of gravity acting on it) would be different on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's lower gravity.

Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
What is the mass on the moon of a 2 kg object on earth?
The mass of the object remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, the weight of the object will be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity.
