No. Mass never changes. But, you are probably thinking about weight. Weight is the measure of how much gravity is acting on an object. Weight is a force acting on an object, due to gravity. Mass is a property of matter. Mass is measured in kilograms/grams so on.
Often somebody will say that something "weighs 20 kilograms", though. This is a common thought, that the terms are interchangeable. Pounds originated as a force unit, but now there is a pound-mass unit that is in use. Your bathroom scale may display pounds or kilograms, for example. We think of this as weight. Most actually measure the amount of force (through springs or electronic pressure sensors). And if you went to the moon, less stepped on the same scale, the reading would be less, because gravity is less, there. But you still have the same amount of mass.
Suppose you "weigh" 60 kilograms, on Earth. And you acquire some weights that add up to 60 kg. If you get a balance, like a see-saw and put the weights on one end, and you sit on the other, it will balance. If you go to the moon and perform the same experiment, they will still balance.
The mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location in the universe. So, an elephant's mass would be the same on the Moon or Mars as it is on Earth. However, an object's weight, which is the effect of gravity on its mass, would differ on the Moon and Mars due to variations in their gravitational pull.
No, the mass of the elephant will never change, but on the moon the elephant would weigh less. Weight is the affect of gravitation wich is the attraction of two bodies that have mass. The mass of the moon is smaller then that of the earth so the gravitational pull would be less.
You would weigh less on Mars than on Earth because Mars has less mass than Earth, so it exerts weaker gravitational force. This means that the pull of gravity on your body would be lower on Mars, leading to a decrease in your weight.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. So basically it is what is inside something. Weight depends on gravity such as landing on the moon, your mass is the same no matter what, but since gravity is a lot weaker, you weigh less! Old Answer: There is less gravity to pull you down.
On Mars, you weigh 37.7% as much as you would on Earth. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 37.7 pounds on Mars. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 56.6 pounds. The equation is .37 x Earth weight = Martian weight.

It would make absolutely no difference.
If you went to Mars, your mass would remain exactly the same. You would weigh considerably less. Mass is determined by a balance. Weight is determined by how hard you push down against gravity.
Kilograms would be used to measure the mass of an elephant.
Mercury has less mass than Earth does, and gravity varies in direct proportion to mass.

Mass remains the same on Mars, as it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, weight would be less on Mars compared to Earth due to its weaker gravitational pull. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.

Mars is a smaller planet than Earth. Your weight is the product of two masses yours and the planets Your mass stays the same wherever you are, if you stand on a smaller planet, you weigh less.
