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) Responses Bailee is incorrect. Both the mass and weight will change. Bailee is incorrect. Both the mass and weight will change. Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stay the same but weight will change. Bailee is incorrect.

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 it depends on both the mass of the object and the gravitational acceleration acting on it. While the mass of an object remains constant regardless of location, its weight changes depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on (for example, it is about 1/6th of its weight on Earth when on the moon).
