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 weigh more on the moon?
Any object weighs more on the moon than it does on an asteroid or comet, but less than it weighs on earth ... only about 16% of its earthly weight.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.
Would an object weight more or less on the moon and why?
An object would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull than Earth. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so with less gravitational pull on the moon, the object would weigh less.
Why would an object transported from earth to the moon have the same mass but different weight?
Gravity is different on the earth than it is on the moon. An object will weigh more on Earth since there is more gravitational pull on the object. However, mass isn't dependent on gravity, and in physics, the formula for Weight is W = ma. This means weight is dependent on the acceleration that an object has in a downward direction, and in this case, we would be focusing on gravitational acceleration that is applied to the object.
Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.

Why an abject weight more on earth than on moon?
The Earth is bigger so has more gravity so object weighs more
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.
Would an object weigh more on the moon?
Any object weighs more on the moon than it does on an asteroid or comet, but less than it weighs on earth ... only about 16% of its earthly weight.

Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
An elephant weighs more on Earth than on the moon because Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so the stronger the gravity, the greater the weight of the object.
Would an object weight more or less on the moon and why?
An object would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull than Earth. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so with less gravitational pull on the moon, the object would weigh less.
What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?
The 10N object has the same mass whether on the moon or on Earth. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be lower on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.

What is weight of moon?
For astronomical objects, it is more appropriate to talk about the mass of an object, not about its weight. The Moon has a mass of 7.35 x 1022 kilogram, that is about 1.2% of Earth's mass.
Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?
No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.
