I don't think that its mass will change very much, however its volume may increase due to decomposition and bloating. Unless you plan on keeping the body refrigerated the whole time. It may start to smell a bit. You may loose some fluids by seeping out of the body bag which will decrease the mass slightly. You do have a body bag dont you?

This is a trick question. Moving a body around the globe will not change its mass but it will weigh more at the poles than at the Equator because the poles are closer to the center of mass for the earth at the poles than at the equator. Or its angular momentum will be higher at the equator which will tend to throw it off the earth or make it weigh less.

No effect. Mass is constant universally. Weight will change due to the bulge of the earth's surface at the equator and flatness near the poles. Mass is a property of the body and weight is the force acted upon it by gravity.

The mass will remain the same, the weight will be slightly less since the earth tends to bulge a little at the equator and hence, the gravity will be somewhat greater.

Mass is a constant and is independent on gravity. The weight may change slightly, but the mass does not.

He would most likely lose mass because I don't know anyone that could travel that far without having to use the restroom!!!
