Question

explain the difference between mass and weight for objects on earth and on the moon.

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of location (so same on Earth and Moon). Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Since the Moon has weaker gravity than Earth (about one - sixth of Earth's gravity), an object's weight on the Moon is less than its weight on Earth while its mass remains the same.

Answer:

Mass is the quantity of matter and is constant (same on Earth and Moon). Weight is a gravitational force; it's less on the Moon than on Earth for the same object due to the Moon's weaker gravity.
