The specific gravity of water on earth is 1.0000 or so, and water on the moon will have the identical specific gravity as water on earth. We generally say the specific gravity of water is 1, and it is a constant.
The specific gravity of water is the same anywhere, as long as the water sample is pure and the sample's density is measured at a temperature and pressure that is its point of maximum density.
If we assume that we don't have a pressurized container at 1 atmosphere of pressure climate-controlled to 1-4 degrees Celsius, one might suggest that water can't exist in its liquid form on the moon. The density of water vapor (again, at 1 atm) is 0.804 g/liter (0.000804 SG). In the moon's atmosphere, that density would rapidly fall to approach zero. Ice could be stable "at night" on the moon, and solid ice has a specific gravity of 0.92.

Whatever a mass is on earth, it's the same wherever you take it. Mass doesn't
depend on the location or the local environment. Weight does.

Would the specific gravity of mercury be the same on the moon where gravity is one sixth of that on the earth?
Specific gravity (Sg) is a value that relates substance x (in this case mercury) to that of water. Notice that Sg is unit-less, thus its a ratio value, and constant. So yes, specific gravity of any substance is the same everywhere, be it earth, the moon, or Pluto. note: Obviously gravity is different on the moon, as you mentioned about 1/6th that of earth. Finding a force of a certain substance on the moon is found by multiplying the density of water by the specific weight of the substance, multiplied by the gravitational pull. Thus, it is not nessicary to change the specific gravity of the substance.
If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?
Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.
How do you know if a product will sink in water by its specific gravity?
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.

Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?
Specific Gravity.
Will you find gravity water and air on the moon?
The moon does have gravity, it is 1/6 that of the earth's. However the moon does not have water or air. There is no atmosphere to hold the air in.
Does Io a moon of Jupiter have wind water or gravity?
gravity
What is the expression for specific gravity when kerosene is used instead of distilled water?
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of material to the density of water, so when we use Kerosin instead of water then the value will be multiplied by the specific gravity of kerosin to get the actual specific gravity.
Does the Moon's gravity cause water currents?
Not exactly. The Moon's gravity (together with the Sun's gravity) causes the tides on Earth.
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
What is the specific amount of gravity on the moon?
1.62 m/s2
If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material data sheet. how do you know if a product will sink in water?
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
What can you say about the specific gravity of an object that floats in water and the specific gravity of an object that completely submerges in water?
S.G. of water = 1.0 Floating, S.G. < 1.0, Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
