What happens to an objects mass weight and volume when taken into space?

Mass: Does not change
Weight: The weight will be zero, if you are not standing on a large massive body (like the moon). When in orbit you are actually in continuous freefall around the planet with a sufficient tangential velocity component.
Volume: If the object is filled with gas from the earth's lower atmosphere the gas will exert this pressure on the sides of the object, prehaps causing the object to explode.

How would you explain your weightlessness of objects in outer space?
Objects dont have weight, its the gravity of whatever planet its on and its own gravity. If you were in space there would be no gravity therefore no weight.
What term describes the amount of matter per unit volume that a substance occupies?
Volume mass area Latest correction: Of these, only volume is correct. Area is not space, and mass has nothing to do with occupied space. Two objects of different volume can have identical masses, and two objects of different mass can have the same volume. The only true statement that can be made between the two is that all objects with a measurable bounded volume have mass. That is why the only possible answer is Volume
What is the relationship between volume and weight?
The relation between weight and volume -: When the weight of a substance increases, its volume also increases. Two substances may have the same weight but different volumes. (Example: If you have one stack of cotton and iron each of the same weight, they will have different volumes. Volume of cotton > Volume of iron in this case.) Density = Weight/Volume.
What is pounds in volume measurement?
No. lbs is a weight (mass) volume is 3 dimensional measurement (space). One has nothing to do with the other. Like asking how does yellow sound...
How do you find the volume of a liquid in a gradulated cylinder if you know the volume of the liquid plus submerged ball and the volume of the ball alone and is it just a matter of subtraction?
Yes, it's just a matter of subtraction. You are correct. You know how much space that two objects occupy, so you can subtract the space that one takes up to find the volume of the other.
How do you measure the space occupied by solid objects?
Volume of an object is a measure of the space occupied by objects.
How would you explain your weightlessness of objects in outer space?
Objects dont have weight, its the gravity of whatever planet its on and its own gravity. If you were in space there would be no gravity therefore no weight.
Do two objects that take up the same amount of space have the same volume or mass?
They have the same volume.
Why do objects weight change as they travel through space?
Because weight is based on gravity, and gravity changes throughout space.
How is space described?
Space is the entire volume in which all objects are located and in which all motion takes place.
Does volume affect an objects weight?
no, volume is how much of space the object occupies, while wight is how much it is drawn downwards due to gravity for example a balloon has a big volume but little weight while a marble has little volume and big weight
What is the volume of irregular objects?
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.
What term describes the amount of matter per unit volume that a substance occupies?

The amount of space an objects takes up?
The amount of space an object takes up is known as its volume if it is 3 dimensional and area if it is 2 dimensional.
Do objects in deep space have weight?
No one knows. Nobody's been to deep space. But my guess is no.
Does an objects weight change in space?
Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.
What is the volume of irregular shape objects?
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.
