The centre of mass of a body is the distribution of mass of individual particles of that object in space. 
It is given as
begin mathsize 14px style straight R equals 1 over straight M stack sum straight m subscript straight i straight r subscript straight i with straight i equals 1 below and straight n on top end style
Now, when the object is taken in outer space or on Moon, its particle distribution does not change.
So, its centre of mass will be the same as that on Earth.

A Uniform Disc of diameter R/2 is put over another uniform disc of radius R of same thickness and Density. The peripheries of the two discs touch each other. The Centre of Mass of the system from centre of the big disc is? (I asked this question before but the answer was wrong. They took the Radius as R/2 while it is the Diameter)
