An objects weight is the amount of the pull of gravity on an object. On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter in an object. You`re mass is the same on every planet. For example, lets say on earth you weighed 100 pounds. On Venus you would weigh the same. BUT, you`re weight is different on different planets. For example, on the moon, the amount of the pull of gravity on you would be different in a way that you would be 70% lighter. Hope that helps. Adios! And no, I am NOT Spanish.
(False) It would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.

Why do objects have weight?
Objects have weight due to the force of gravity acting upon them. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force pulling it towards the center of the Earth. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force and the heavier the object will be.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
Because different planets have different mass, which means that gravity is weaker or stronger depending on the mass. If gravity is stronger than objects will have more weight, and if it's weaker they will have less weight.
Distinguish between the mass of an object and the object's weight?
The mass of an object is unchanging relative to the local gravity. The weight of an object is relative to the strength of the gravity in which it is weighed. The metric unit gram is a measure of mass. The English system unit a pound is a measure of weight. Something that has a mass of 1 kilogram on Earth has the same mass on the Moon, but two entirely different weights. On Earth, a 1 kilogram mass weighs approximately 2.2 pounds. On the Moon, where the gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, the same 1 kilogram mass weighs only a little over 1/3 of a pound. A weight of an object is a consequence of its having a mass, in the presence of a gravitational field. A mass is a property of the object, won't change unless the integrity of the object is affected. Its weight, though, is a consequence of the object being nearby another (massive) object, in most contexts that will be the (surface of the) Earth. Say a bowling ball weights 3 kilograms. This a short for saying 'on the surface of the Earth, this bowling ball is atracted to the Earth with a force of 3 kilograms', or, more properly said, with a force equal to 3 x 9,8 Newton (Newton is the proper measuring unit for force). If that bowling ball was on the surface of the Moon, it would weight about 0,5 kilograms, one sixth more or less of its weight on the Earth. Yet, its mass would still be 3 kilograms. If you were to hang vertically (somehow) from a rope your bowling ball, so it stands still, the rope would have to be able to resist 3 kilos in the Earth, in the Moon a rope that can take 0,5 kg would be enough. But say you try to throw the ball away, doing it the way hammer throw athletes do in the Olympics, swinging it around you in circles, then releasing it. While you make it turn around you (horizontally), the tension in the rope depends on the speed at which you make it turn and *the mass* of the ball. If you make it turn at the same speed (with the same rope length), the tension on the rope will be same on Earth and on the Moon. But the distance your throwing attempt will reach would be different, since it depends on *the weight* of the ball. On the Moon, all being equal (speed in swinging the ball, length of the rope, angle of your throw), you would reach 6 times farther than in the Earth. Other experiments you might perform on the Moon or on the surface on other unknown space bodies, might involve measuring the period of oscillations of your bowling ball when attached to string, or playing 'pool' with another ball of known mass and measuring speeds and angles after and before their collision. This is because the physics principles involved in those experiments (preservation of energy, preservation of linear momentum, respectively), do involve the mass of the objects, not their weight.
What element that makes up the greatest percentage of weight in the body?
Oxygen is the element that makes up the greatest percentage of weight in the body, comprising about 65% of the body's mass.
What is the difference between an objects mass and weight?
The Difference:Mass - is the amount of matter in an objectWeight - the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an objectHow they are measured:Mass - balanceWeight - scaleUnit of measurement:Mass - grams (g) and kilograms (kg)Weight - newtons (N)
Are objects masses?
Of course objects have mass because Mass is any object that has weight.
Does density define an objects mass?
weight
Does an objects weight increases its mass decrases?
no, weight is just an objects mass with the force of gravity, so as one increases the other will increase too
Why do objects with more mass weigh more than objects with less mass?
Objects with more mass weigh more because weight is directly proportional to mass. The gravitational force acting on an object is stronger when the object has more mass, resulting in a greater weight measurement.
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Why do objects with more mass have a greater weight?
The weight of an object is the result of the force of gravity acting on its mass. Objects with more mass have a greater amount of matter, which means there is a stronger gravitational force pulling on them, resulting in a greater weight.
The pull of gravity on an objects mass is called what?
Its weight
What does mass mean in physic properties?
Mass is a property that gives objects the following:* It provides objects with weight. (Note: weight = mass x gravity) * It provides objects with inertia. The higher the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its velocity.
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Is it true weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object?
mass is how much weight an object has so mass (N) measures how much weight (G) an object has
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
