More or less. There are slight variations, due to differences in gravity, and the centrifugal pseudoforce.

Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Why do you weigh less when the Moon is overhead?
You weigh less when the moon is overhead because the gravitational pull from the moon resists Earth's gravitational pull slightly. But remember, your mass has not changed. Mass is the amount of matter within an object, weight is the force action upon that mass. The two are not the same. +++ The weight change would be extremely small though.
If the earth weighs six trillion tons and you built a stone and mortar wall around the equator weighing one trillion tons what would the weight of the earth with the wall?
it would weigh the same because the mortor comes from earth
Who first discovered that objects fall at the same speed no matter what they weigh?
Not 100% sure but i think it was Galileo of Newton
What weighs the same no matter how big it is?
If I understood your question right, then any two or more objects will weigh the same if they contain equal amount of the same substance.
Would you have more mass on the moon than earth?
Neither. Although you weigh more on earth your mass is the same no matter where you are.
Did size of the earth is increased means gravity of earth will increase or not?
If the Earth became bigger but its mass remained the same, then objects on its surfacewould weigh less than they do now.If the Earth became bigger and its mass also increased, (with average density remainingconstant), then objects on its surface would weigh more than they do now.
Why do objects weigh less on the moon than they do on the earth?
Gravity is strong here. It is the same reason we are held down on the planet
Would you weigh the same on mercury as you do on earth?
No. On Mercury you would weigh 37% of what you weigh on Earth.
Do An object on Earth weighs six times more than on the moon?
Yes, objects on the moon would weigh six times less, but keep in mind that the objects mass stays the same.
Does a brick weigh the same on earth as it does in space?
Weight is a measure of gravity's pull against some object. No a brick will not weigh the same on earth as in space or on the moon. It will, however, have the same mass.also weight and mass IS DIFFERENT weight is a measure of gravity pull against objects mass basicly mean how many atoms
Is your weight on the moon be the same as it is on the earth?
No. On the moon you only weigh about 16.7% of what you weigh on Earth.
What makes objects the same size to weigh differently?
Density.
Do objects on other planets weigh the same as they weigh on Earth?
No. Weight is the measure of how much force a planet pulls an object, that force is determined by the planet's mass and radius, and each planet has a different mass and radius.
Do you weigh the same mars as you do on earth?
No. You would would weigh only about 38% of your weight on Earth.
