Bailee explained that when traveling to the moon, he needs to pack light because the weight of objects on the moon is the same as their weight on Earth. The mass of the objects is what changes when the gravitational pull changes. Is Bailee correct in his explanation? (1 point)

Ballee is correct. The weight of the objects stay the same but mass will change

Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stays the same, but weight will change.

To clarify, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and varies depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body (like the Earth or the Moon) where the object is located. The weight of an object on the Moon is about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull.
