Does mass become less in outer space, farther from Earth???

Answer 1

Mass of an object never changes unless it is changed physically.
Mass has something to do with matter. Weight will change, which is first decided by the amount of gravity.

Answer 2

Mass is how much matter something contains. It is measured on a balance scale, in kilograms. Weight is the response due to gravity, and is measured in newtons. 1 kg = 10 Newtons.
If your mass is 60kg, your weight is 600 N.
Gravity on the Moon is 1/6th what it is on Earth.
So your weight will be 100 Newtons. Your mass will be 60 kg. You don't change by going to the moon, just the gravity. So no matter where you go in space your weight changes, but not your mass.

Answer 3

You are thinking of commonly confused terms: 'Weight' is mass relative to a gravitational field, and as gravity decreases, so does weight, until at zero gravity, there is zero weight. 'Mass' is an intrinsic property of matter. Mass does not change relative to gravitational fields. To illustrate, if you stood on a scale in zero gravity, your weight would be zero. But if you were caught between two 10 ton masses moving together in zero gravity, you would be crushed as flat as if you were standing on Earth between two Mack trucks.

Answer 4

No absolutly not.
Mass is a measure of matter in an object and stays the same if the object is not changed in any way.

I think your thinking of weight. Weight is the measure of the force acted on an object by gravity.

Answer 5

No. It just weights less because no gravity is almost weightless. So mass won't reduce, the weight will.

Answer 6

Mass is a primary aspect of matter, and does not change, except reletivisticly (near light speed).

Answer 7

No mass does not change under different [zero] gravity

Answer 8

weight changes, but mass is constant (weight is a force-mass is well, mass)
