He hasn't. The mass is the same, but the graviational pull from the Earth is stronger than that from the moon.

Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?

The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.


If a person has a mass of 71kg on earth what would be their mass on the moon be?

11.83 that is the 1/6 of his mass in earth


If a person's mass is sixty kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?

The person's mass on the moon is still 60 kilograms. Their weight would be about 10 kg.


Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?

No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.


What will be the mass of a person on the moon having a mass of 60kg on the earth?

60 Kg. Mass doesn't change on the moon, weight does.


If a person's mass is seventy kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?

The mass on the Moon is still seventy kilograms (the same as on Earth) because mass is an inherent property of matter. However the 70 kilogram person would weigh 11.6 kilograms on the Moon because weight depends on gravity and the Moon's gravity is 0.1654 of that of the Earth.


Which is heavier a half moon or a full moon?

The mass of the moon does not change. The phases of the moon are not changes to the moon itself, they are only changes in how much off the side of the moon facing Earth is lit up.


What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?

1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.


If a person has a mass of 55 kilograms on earth what would be the mass on the moon?

20 kg


What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?

The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.


Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?

Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.


Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?

No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
