Answer:

SEE below

Step-by-step explanation:

MASS is a measure of the amount of matter in an object....it will remain the same ....

WEIGHT is a measure of gravitational pull on the object and is inversely dependent on the square of the distance between the two bodies...so weight will be LESS than on the surface of the planet
