Do two objects dropped on earth land at the same time if they have different mass?

Yes. The only thing that can affect the speed of either object is air resistance. If there's none,
or if it's very small, then they fall with the same acceleration and land at the same time with
the same speed, no matter what their masses are.
A large amount of air resistnce with only a small increase in mass is introduced when a parachute is used. A parachute would be totally ineffective on the moon (no atmosphere, so no resistance)

Because it didnt fell like being in the same place. lol
When two objects of the same mass drop from different heights do they land at the same time?
No
Two objects with different weights are dropped at the same time which lands first?
In a vacuum, they always land at the same time. In air, it's not so much the weight but the air resistance. If the shape and density are about the same, then the difference in weight doesn't make any difference.

If you dropped a brick a tennis ball and a feather from a building on the Moon in what order would they land?
They would land in the same order in which I dropped them. If I dropped them all at the same instant,then they would all land at the same instant. The same can be said for a truck, a cinder block, and a hair.

Why was more land exposed during the ice age than it is now?
A large proportion of Earth's surface water was in the form of ice and so sea levels dropped significantly.
Why don't all the marbles dropped from a specific height land in the same spot?
If they are dropped in a totally controlled manner then they would land in the same spot. However, if dropped by hand, there will be minor differences in the positions of the hand which will affect the outcomes.
