Yes, a solid would have the same mass on the moon as it would on earth. An object's mass is independent of the force of gravity, so its mass would remain the same even in the absence of gravity (e.g. on a spaceship). What would change is the weight, which is measured with mass in proportion to gravity.

Will the mass or weight of a rock change on the moon?

180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon. Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.


Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?

No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.


Would the above solid have a mass of 180g on the moon?

The mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location, whether on Earth, the Moon, or anywhere else in the universe. Therefore, if the solid has a mass of 180 grams on Earth, it will also have a mass of 180 grams on the Moon. However, its weight would be different due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull.


What is the mass of a hammer on the moon?

The mass of a hammer on the Moon is the same as the mass of that same hammer on Earth - or in space, or anywhere else.


Would the above solid have mass of 180 grams on the moon?

yes


Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.


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.


Would mass be more or less on the moon?

Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.


Which one stays the same on the moon mass or weight?

Mass


If an object has a mass on earth is 60 units what will be the mass of the same object on the moon?

Exactly the same. Mass is the same everywhere. The weight will be 1/6 less on the moon though.


Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?

Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.


Would the above solid have a mass of 180 g on the moon would it have the same weight on eath as on the moon?

No, the mass of the object remains the same regardless of location, so it would still be 180 g on both the Moon and Earth. However, weight is dependent on the gravitational pull of the body, so the weight of the object would be different on Earth compared to the Moon due to their differing gravitational strengths.
