Which direction does the decimal move from mega meters to meters

To solve this problem, let us first understand what does mega meters mean. Now by definition, mega means a factor of one million which is a unit prefix in Metric Systems of units. It is denoted by the unit symbol M.

So for example if we have a mega of something, it means a million of something. So in this case, if we have 1 mega meter, what it means is 1 million meter, which is written as:

1 mega meter = 1,000,000 meter

 

To show the decimal points:

1.0 mega meter = 1,000,000.0 meter

 

So we see that the decimal point move 6 zeroes to the right, therefore the direction is to the right.

 

6 places to the right

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
