*Mass is oftentimes referenced by a measure of weight on a scale, however 'weight' is more specifically the product of a force such as gravity that bears on a mass. In a frame of reference other than the surface of the earth, such as the surface of the moon; the same body mass would experience a weight or force of gravity that is only about 1/6 the gravity on the earth.
I would add this at the end: "The mass of the object does not change." Regards, Bill Hooper Fernandina Beach, Florida, USA ========================== Make It Simple; Make It Metric! ==========================
