<h3>Answer: </h3><h2>(d) Weight changes depending on distance from the earth, mass does not. </h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mass is an example of whereby enough matter an object carries, while weight is a ratio of the force of gravity on the thing. A thing has the identical composition, and therefore mass, despite its position. For instance, a man with a mass of 70 kg on Earth has a mass of 70 kg in space as well as on the moon.

The correct option is d

<span>Weight changes depending on distance from the earth, mass does not.

Weight can be defined as the force exerted on an object due to the effects of gravity.

As we move far away from the Earth, the effects of gravity lessen and thus the weight decreases. (But the mass remains constant, because it only depends on the volume and density of the object)
