Question

7. When an astronaut travels from the Earth to the Moon, which of their physical properties changes: mass or weight?

Explain why one property changes but the other does not.

Answer 1

Their mass stays the same but their weight changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force of celestial bodies is determined by their mass and size. The moon has less mass than the Earth and can't pull object towards itself as well as the Earth. Thus, mass remains the same and you'd weigh less.
