The value of the mass on the earth, as well as the moon, is the same instead of which the weight changes because the gravitational acceleration value is changing. Hence the statement student heard is wrong.
What is mass?
Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.
The kilogram is the international system of units of mass.
The formula of weight is;
W = mg
Where,
m is the mass
g is the gravitational acceleration
w is the weight
The weight of the object depends upon the acceleration due to gravity.
As the gravitational acceleration increases, the weight of the earth and the moon changes, but their respective masses remain constant. This makes the statement the student heard incorrect.
Hence the statement is wrong
