The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it

on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.

Is there gravity anywhere else in the universe?

Where a body has mass, there is gravity.


The mass of an object remains the what anywhere in the universe?

The mass of an object remains the same anywhere in the universe. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it does not change regardless of the location or environment. This is a fundamental principle in physics known as the conservation of mass.


Why do scientists rely on mass rather than weight?

Because an objects mass is the same anywhere in the universe.


The mass of what body is used to measure the mass of stars in the universe?

The sun


What is the mass of an object anywhere in the universe?

The mass of an object is unaffected by gravitational forces. Assuming we ignore relativistic effects (mass increase to infinite and so on) we can say that an object with a mass of 5kg will have that mass anywhere in the universe (within reason). On the other hand, an object that WEIGHS 5kg on earth will have a measured weight that varies considerably depending upon what gravitational fields are affecting it.


Are weight and mass considered the same in outer space?

Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.


What property remains constant no matter where in the universe a material?

Our theories of physics indicate that the speed of light should be invariant (unchanging) anywhere in the universe.

Would a massless body have inertia?

Not a single body is present in this universe without mass but they can be weight less.By definition, mass is the measure of the inertia of a body, so if the body were without mass (as some particles, for example), it would have no inertia.


Is weight a fundamental quantity Give reasons?

No, weight is not a fundamental quantity. Though mass is. The reason for adopting this viewpoint is this: the mass of a body is intrinsic to the body itself - e.g. an electron has the same mass anywhere in the universe. The weight of a body is just the gravitational force acting on that body, and obviously depends on the gravitational field it finds itself in. For example, your mass remains the same if you fly to the moon, but your weight on the moon's surface is roughly one-sixth of your weight here on Earth.


How does the mass of a body behave anywhere on the earth?

it remain same like first it was.


Why does your mass change when you travel to the moon?

Actually, your mass doesn't change anywhere in the universe. What does change is your weight. Weight in physics is calculated by multiplying mass time force of gravity, and because gravity is different on the moon, on Earth, on Mars, and any other massive body in space, so is a person's weight.Hope that answered your question adequately :)
