Answer:

No, the mass of the body remains same on both moon and earth.

Explanation:

This is because the weight of an object depends upon the gravitational force exerted on it. As the gravitational force exerted by the moon is 1/6th of earth so weight ,too, becomes 1/6th. But mass is the property of the object. It doesn't depend upon the gravitational force ,thus, it remains same.

Hope it helps ☺
