Mass is how much space an object takes up. Weight is a measurement of how strong the force of gravity pulls down on said object. Weight changes because gravity changes on different planets or moons.

Where would a person have less mass?

A persons mass never changes. A persons WEIGHT changes according to the amount of gravitational force put on the object. Some 1 on the moon WEIGHS less on the moon but still has the same mass. Mass plays a factor in the weight but a persons mass never changes by where the person is or so I think.


What would not be different to a human on Jupiter his weight energy matter or mass?

mass, it never changes based where you are. and matter too, energy not sure but i doubt it. weight is the only one that changes


Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?

Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.


What is your weight on other planets if your weight on earth is 43 kg?

Kilograms are a measure of mass, and since mass never changes, you would be 42 kg on every planet.


How much is 1 kg equivalent to on the sun?

It will be 1 kg, since a gram is a measurement of mass, not weight. Mass never changes.

What changes on the moon mass or weight?

Weight.


How do you calculate the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of "stuff" in an object or a region of space. Weight is the gravitational force between two masses. When you're talking about weight, the earth is usually one of the masses. Your mass never changes, regardless of where you are. Your weight does change, depending on what the other mass is.


Is weight a mass?

No. "Mass" is the stuff an object is made of, and never changes."Weight" is the force of gravity between the object and another mass.Weight depends on what the other mass is, and how far the object is from it.That's why the same mass has different weights on the earth and moon.


Does mass or weight increase with expansion?

First of all, mass is NOT the same as weight. Mass never changes, but weight, however, does change. ================================= To answer the question: If a solid object is heated so as to make it expand, or a sample of liquid is heated and it expands as a result, or a sample of gas is allowed to expand by enlarging the container in which it is confined, neither the mass nor the weight of any of these changes as a result of its increased dimensions.


What changes with location mass or weight?

weight.. Mass always stays the same
