Oh, dude, your mass stays the same on the moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, and that doesn't change just because you're chilling on a different celestial body. Your weight, on the other hand, would be less on the moon because gravity there is weaker. So, like, you might feel lighter and more floaty, but your mass is still the same old you.

How would your weight and mass change if you go to the moon?

Your mass would remain the same because it's a measure of the amount of matter in your body, but your weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. This is because weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, and gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's.


How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?

Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.


Does a scale show weight or mass?

It shows the weight, however, by convention we graduate the scale in mass units. The scale is assuming that you are standing on Earth. When you step on a scale the gravity pulls you down, which is called weight. Weight is based on the gravity force. Mass is the amount of stuff inside your body. Which won't change because of gravity. If you go to the moon your weight will be less because the moon has less gravity. Mass will stay the same. Unless you lose one your body parts while on the trip to the moon.


Are mass and weight interchangeable terms?

No, mass and weight are not interchangeable terms. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass is constant regardless of location, while weight can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational pull.


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

Your weight on the moon is about 16.55% of your weight on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you'll weigh 33.1 pounds on the moon. Plus, of course, your space suit and all the rest of the gear you have to wear in order to survive on the moon.

Does your mass increase decrease or stay the same if you so to Saturn?

Your mass will stay the same no matter where you go.


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


Does your weight stay the same no matter where you go like the moon?

Your weight would change depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on. For example, your weight on the Moon would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravity.

What would your weight and mass be if your were on the moon?

Your weight on the moon would be about 16.5% of your weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. However, your mass would remain the same regardless of location, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.


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.


Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?

Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.


Can you explain why your mass would be the same on earth and the moon?

Well, no matter what, our mass would be the same where ever you go. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Theres no way that you could just lose a little mass simply by going to the moon, its impossible.


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.
