The correct answer is a) weight.
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting upon an object, and it depends on the mass of the object and the gravitational field strength. The gravitational field strength on the moon is only about 1/6th of that on Earth, so if Mr. Jones was moved from Earth to the moon, his weight would be significantly reduced. However, his mass (which is a measure of the amount of matter in his body) would stay the same. Height and hair color are not affected by the change in gravity.
If Mr. Jones was moved from Earth to the moon, what would change?
a
weight
b
mass
c
height
d
hair color
