Mass is the measurement of the amount of stuff that makes up an object.

Your mass belongs to you. It doesn't depend on where you are, or on

anything about the place where you are, or on what's around you. It

goes wherever you go and it doesn't change. Your weight is the result

of your mass and the other masses in the place where you are, so it

changes as you go around visiting different neighborhoods, such as

the surface of the moon.

Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.


Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

Your weight would change on the moon because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth, so you would feel lighter. However, your mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, which does not change.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!


How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


Most affected by a change in the moon's mass is what?

Ocean tides would be most affected by a change in the moon's mass. A larger moon mass would increase the gravitational pull on the Earth, causing stronger and higher tides.


Would your weight and mass change on the moon?

So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.


Did the astronauts on the Moon's mass change?

The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.


What is the mass of 25kg on the moon?

the mass is an invariant: so 25kg mass would still be 25kg mass where ever it was. the force a 25kg mass exerts would change, as the force is a variant that would be altered by the lower gravitational strength of the moon.


What would be the mass of a person on the moon?

A person's mass is the same on the moon as it is on Earth because mass does not change based on location. However, their weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.


How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?

Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.


How would your mass change if you went from the earth to the moon?

It wouldn't. Your weight would change, because it is equal to mass times acceleration, and the acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would weight about 1/6th as much on the moon as on the Earth. But mass is constant, regardless of where you are. Mass does increase with increased speed, however, according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
