70 kilograms.

Mass does not change -- it is a characteristic property of matter.

The WEIGHT you measure would be different, because the Moon has so much less mass than the Earth, so the force of gravity is about 1/6th that on Earth.

Mass is how much matter you are made of, so unless you eat a lot of junk food or somehow lose an arm on the way to the moon it will remain the same. Your weight is the combination of your mass and the pull of gravity and can vary greatly. The moon has about 1/6 the gravity of earth so you'd weigh about 11.6 Kg on the moon

The mass is the same. The weight, by definition mass * local gravity, is what varies. In the Moon, the gravity is about 1/6 of Earth's gravity, so one feels six times lighter.

70 kg. Mass is not affected by gravity. It is a measure of the amount of matter present.

your mass will be 70 kg as mass never changes whether on earth,moon or sun.

Mass remains the same. The moon has less gravity and you would exert less pressure on a set of scales.

70kg.

The mass of an object is a constant. Weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Your mass does not change, but your weight does. Check this site out for further explanation.

Mass doesnt change in relation to gravity.
Weight does however.
