Everywhere in the universe an object’s ____ is the same.
A
weight
B
mass
C
volume
D
friction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mass stays the same regardless of location and gravity. You would have the same mass on Mars or Jupiter as you do here on Earth. Your weight is different on other planets due to gravity. However, your mass is the same everywhere!

Detailed explanation-2: -mass of the body is constant as it is property of body, but weight is product of acceleration due to gravity and mass, which may vary from place to place because acceleration due to gravity is different for different places.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Mass of an object does not depend on the body’s size, shape, gravity or state. The mass of a body is the amount of material that makes up the body; Thus, it is a constant quantity that does not change.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Newtonian mechanics, mass is conserved. This means that the mass of the Universe is constant and the mass of any specified collection of particles is constant, no matter how much rearrangement occurs within the system.
