Yes, because the force of gravity depends on the distance between the two masses. We feel a constant weight due to gravity at the surface of the Earth because we are always at the same distance, equal to the radius of the Earth (Historikeren 15-07-2015).

Will you have more mass on earth or on the moon?

Your mass is the same wherever you go.You weigh more on the Earth, because your weight depends on your own massand on the mass that's attracting you to it, and Earth's mass is about 80 timesmore than the moon's mass.


If you weighed 198 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on the moon?

-- To get the earth weight, multiply the moon weight by 6.08 .An astronaut who weighs 27 pounds on the moon weighs 164.1 pounds on earth.-- To get the moon weight, multiply the earth weight by 0.165 .His wife, who weighs 115 pounds on earth, would weigh 19 pounds on the moon.


Is your weight the same on earth as it is on the moon?

No. You are lighter on the moon than on earth, though your mass remains unchanged.


What device is used to estimate the weight on the moon?

A spring scale can be used to estimate weight on the moon by compensating for the moon's lower gravity. The scale will read about 1/6th of the individual's weight on Earth, as gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th that on Earth.


Which one would change if you were on the moon weight or mass and why?

If you were on the moon, your weight would change, but your mass would remain the same. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and varies depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on. Since the moon has about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, you would weigh significantly less on the moon, while your mass, a measure of the amount of matter in your body, would remain constant.

Does weight change from earth to moon?

yes because you'll weigh lesser on the moon then on earth


What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?

His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.


Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?

Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.


If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?

No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.


Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?

Your weight on the moon would be about 16.5% of your weight on Earth. This is because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 16.5 pounds on the moon.


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!


Why does the weight of an object change when you go the moon?

It is because the gravity on the moon is one sixth of the gravity on the Earth


On the Moon is my weight is the same?

You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.


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.


Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?

Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.


Why does the weight of an object change when you go to the moon?

Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.


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.
