Mass is the measure of how much material is present. So if you travel somewhere, your mass does not change (except if you get fat or go on a diet)

What explain the difference between the mass and the weight of an object?

weight is how heavy an object is; and mass is how much volume an object holds Answer 2 No, the mass is not how much volume ..... Volume and mass are not the same thing. Volume is its size measured in say cubic centimetres or cubic inches, whereas mass is measured in tons or pounds. The difference between mass and weight is that the mass does not change but the weight does (e.g. in outer space an object will have no weight but its mass will still be the same). The effect of this difference is, for example, a body in space may weigh nothing but it will still be able to resist a change in motion (i.e. it has inertia).


A rock has a mass of 0.8 kg on earth and weighs 1.8 pounds it weighs 0.29 pounds on the moon how many kg is its mass?

Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring. The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 16.3 kg. What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not 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.


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.


Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?

Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.

When you go to the moon does your mass change?

no! because your mass is the same because there is the same amount of gravity


If my mass on earth is 75000 grams what is my mass on the moon?

If your mass is 75,000 grams, then that's your mass, until you eat a whole chocolate cake or go on a strictreducing diet. Your mass is your mass; it doesn't change, no matter where you go. It's the same on earth,on the moon, in space on the way from the earth to the moon, or in orbit around the earth going nowhere.What changes is your weight. That's the force of attraction between your mass and another mass, such as theearth or the moon. The more mass the other mass has, the stronger the force of attraction between it and you.That's why you weigh less on the moon. But your massdoesn't change.


Is your mass different on the moon from what it is on the Earth?

No. Your mass is the amount of stuff you're made of. You take it with you wherever you go, and it doesn't change.


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

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


Would your mass change on the moon and why not?

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.


What is its mass on the moon and on the Earth for a box of 16kg?

The mass is 16kg on both the Earth and on the Moon. Mass does not change due to gravitational forces.


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.


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.


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.


Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?

No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.

When an astronaut lands on the moon what is his mass?

His mass does not change, only his relative weight.
