How would the moon move if earths mass increased?
If Earth's mass increased, then the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would also increase. The moon would be more strongly attracted to Earth. The acceleration between the 2 would increase also.
Which weighs more the earth or the moon?
There is no such thing as weight in space as there is no gravity up there. Although seeing as the earth has more mass it would weigh more if there where gravity in space.
How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
How would the weight and mass change if you moved from earth to the moon?
First, mass and weight are not the same thing. Second, due to the difference in the gravitational pull of Earth versus the moon, you weigh more on Earth and less on the moon, although your mass stays the same.
Explain how to calculate the position of the common centre of mass of the Earth-Moon system?
The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon. (For more than 2 objects, the calculation is somewhat more complicated - reading about "center of mass" can give you an idea.)The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon.

Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)

Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?
The 10N object has the same mass whether on the moon or on Earth. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be lower on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.
How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
What weights more earth or moon?
The mass of the Earth is six times more than the moon.
Does the earth have more mass or density than the moon?
No; the Earth has over eighty times the mass of the Moon. Our Moon is overall about three fifths the density of the Earth; which is itself a scientific curiosity since this would mean the lunar core has an unusually low density.
Why is it the mass of the moon is less than the mass of the earth?
Because earth contains more matter as compared to moon.

Do you have more mass on the earth or on the moon?
yes
