You are an astronaut and NASA has asked you to determine how mass and weight change throughout the solar system they have provided you with a rover with a mass of 227 kg on earth what is the rovers mass on the moon if the moon's gravity is 1.60 ms²

The mass will be 227kg.

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of how much "stuff" is in an object. It's a measure of the number and type of atoms in something, and is fixed. If you and I went to the moon right now, our bodies wouldn't change what they were made of. I would still be made up of all the same "stuff," as would you! So my mass would be the same and so would yours.

Weight would change on the moon, because weight is a measure of the local pull of gravity on an object's mass. Earth's gravitational force is about 10m/s2 and the moon's is about 1.6m/s2. So on the moon, I would have a weight of about 1/6 my weight on Earth... but I'd still wear the same size jeans!
