Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. If you leave earth and go to another planet, moon, or asteroid, your mass stays the same, but your weight changes, depending on the value of "g" (acceleration of an object in free fall due to the force of gravity) on that planet, moon or asteroid. For example if you go to the moon, your mass stays the same, but you will weigh less because g on the moon is 1/6 what is it on earth. So, go to the moon to "lose weight"!
