How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
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.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
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 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.
Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?
Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why the weight of an object is different on earth and on the moon even though the objects mass is the same in both places.?
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)

How do mass and weight relate?
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.
Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?
Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.
