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.
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
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.
Because of the gravity.
Yeah, but the weight will be different
Because there is less gravity on the moon
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
If the mass remained the same, the weight would be about 1/6 in lunar gravity.

Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.

Because of the gravity.
Apparent Weight is the weight of an Object in a SPECIFIC Gravitational condition, such as on Earth. The same object on the Moon would have a different (Lesser) Apparent Weight. The only constant is the Mass of the Object in both of those locations.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
