Sounds interesting. One question from a dumb American - I forgot how


to

convert "stone" to "pounds"

There are 14 pounds (lbs) in a stone.



or "kilograms,"

Don't know about them - they're foreign. ;-)

Ian

Multiply kg by 2.2 to convert to pounds.


Which weighs more? A pound of Gold or a pound of feathers.



But which would have more mass on the moon ?



Anything which weighs more at a given location has more mass. The mass
will not change wherever you move it to.
