"pesific_boy" has it all wrong. Weight is NOT mass. A person "weighs" abuout 1/6 less on the moon, because of the smaller gravity of the moon's smaller mass. But the person's MASS does not change just because he stands on the moon.
The volume of a balloon is the same as volume of a concrete ball of the same dimensions, but the baloon's mass is much less. The balloon may have the same mass as a BB shot, but it's volume is much more than the BB.
The denser an object is, the more mass, given the same volume.
By the way, from one side of the moon to the other: That is called it's "diameter" not its density.

density=mass/volume

Density is mass divided by volume.
Mass is density multiplied by volume.
Volume is mass divided by density.

I will tell ya differently::::
Your weight is your Mass
If you are Fat or Thin then that's your Volume
Density have you ever seen a moon? From One end to another the distance is called the Density. That you dont have.f**l

den. = m/ v
so simple
so
m = d * v
v = m / d
