Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.

∙ 7y agoThe mass of an object is how much matter it contains. Unless you add or remove something from the object its mass does not change.

Go to another planet will your mass change?
Your mass will not change (unless you go on a diet). On different planets your weightwill change because you will be pulled down with a different force.
Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?
Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.
An astronaut on the moon has the same mass as she did on earth but has less?
mass doesnt change but weight does
What is the difference between mass on earth and mass in space?
There is no difference between mass anywhere in the universe; it will always be a specific type of bonding between atoms anywhere it goes. However, weight may change due to different gravities on different planets
Would your mass change if you traveled from planet to planet?
No your mass would not change at all if you traveled from planet to planet. Mass is the amount of space an object takes up. Since different planets have different levels of gravity pushing down on you then your weight would change but unless for any reason you lost/gained weight or grown any taller/shorter your mass would not change traveling planet to planet.
How old would you be on mars if you are 12?
12.... age doesnt change on other planets, nor does mass.
Go to another planet will your mass change?
Your mass will not change (unless you go on a diet). On different planets your weightwill change because you will be pulled down with a different force.
Is mass the same where you go?
an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes
How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?
Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.
Why do forces change on different planets and moons?
Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.
Does your mass change on the planets?
Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.
Why do all the planets have different fields of gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass. All the planets have different mass, so different gravity.
Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?
Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.
Why a mass of 1 kg weighs a different amount if it is taken to different planets?
Different planets have different strengths of gravity.
Why can a soda weigh different on different planets?
soda weighs differently on different planets because the planets gravitational pull makes the mass of the soda and the weight change because of pressure and different gravitational pull they could also make the soda explode because o fpressure and carbonation
An astronaut on the moon has the same mass as she did on earth but has less?
mass doesnt change but weight does
What doesnt change on an object when gravitational force changes?
mass
