Edward Cole · Answer 1

If a man's mass is 80 kg, then ...

- - He weighs 258 newtons on Mars.

- - He weighs 785 newtons (about 176.4 pounds) on Earth.

- - He weighs 130 newtons on the Moon.

- - He weighs different amounts in other different places.

His mass doesn't change. It's 80 kg no matter where he goes.
