Your weight is less on the moon b/c you have less gravity that pushes down on you in space--and in space there is no gravity,its a big vacuum and your mass is whats inside you.

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.


Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?

Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.


Is a person's mass less on the moon?

No- their weight is less, but mass is not changed.


Did the astronauts on the Moon's mass change?

The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.


Why do you weight less on the moon?

You weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less mass and gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so your weight appears to be lighter on the moon.


How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


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.


Why is your weight different on the moon?

Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.


How does the weight of the mass of an object change if it is on the moon?

mass is constant 2kg on earth is 2kg on the moon. Weight depends on gravity. W = mg where g is grav. acceleration. Since gravity is less on the moon, then weight is less on the moon for the same object


If an object has a mass of 26 g on earth would its mass be less than 26 g on the moon?

If an object has a mass of 36g on earth it will also have a mass of 26g on the moon. This is because while weight varies depending on gravity, mass is a universal constant that reflects the number of molecules in an object.It's mass would be the same (amount of matter) But it's weight would be less on the moon, yes.


Why does our weight change as we move from earth's surface to the moon's?

Because weight is determined by gravitational pull on your mass. The Moon has less gravitational pull than earth so you will weigh less, even though your mass remains the same.


Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

Your weight would change on the moon because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth, so you would feel lighter. However, your mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, which does not change.
