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)

Answer 1

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

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and is dependent on the gravitational pull of a celestial body, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. On the Moon, the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so objects weigh less on the Moon, but their mass does not change.
