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

Does the earth and the moon have about the same mass?

The moon has much less mass than the Earth.No, the earth and the moon do not have the same mass. While both are very large, the moon is only 1/81st the weight of earth, with a weight of 7.34 x 10^22 kilograms.


Is the mass of the astronaut on Mars bigger smaller or the same compared with on Earth?

You would have the same mass on the Earth as you would on the moon. You would just weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity there than on the moon.


What is the mass of an object on earth that will weigh the same amount as if you were on the moon?

The Greeks about 400 BCE first determined the distance to the moon, sort of. They did this by noting the ratio of the time it took earth's shadow to cross the lunar surface to the length of time of the lunar orbit. The ratio was about 60 to 1, indicating the moon was 60 earth diameters away. The earth's diameter is about 8000 miles, so the lunar distance is roughly 240,000 miles. What the Greeks did NOT know was what the earth's diameter was, so they really didn't know, at least for about 200 years, how far away the moon REALLY was. Finally, about 250 BCE, Eratosthenes determined the diameter of the earth, and the last bit of information fell into place.


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.


What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?

The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.

Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?

In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.


Does earth and moon have the same weight?

There is no such thing as weight in space seeing as there is no gravity.


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

No, your weight on the Moon would be about one sixth of your weight on Earth due to the lower gravity on the Moon. This means that if you weighed 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh around 25 pounds on the Moon.


What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?

The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the 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.
