Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity.

An object has zero weight in outer space.

No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.

Yes!!! It depends on the gravity that the body is subject to.

However, it retains the samer mass ( matter).

If the apparent weight of an object can be found by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object what is the apparent weight of the floating object?

Zero.


When is the apparent weight of an object zero?

When there is no gravity.


What's more likely: an object whose mass is 0, or an object whose weight is 0?

If an object's mass is exactly zero, then the object does not exist. No mass means no atoms. However, an object can have no weight and still have a mass. The weight depends on the gravitational force.

What effect does bouyant force have on an object?

It reduces the object's apparent weight,sometimes to zero and even beyond.


Why is weight of an object almost zero?

I really don't know what you are talking about...an elephant can hardly be said to weigh "Almost Zero".


Why weight of free falling objects is zero?

The mass of an object is the same wherever the object is (even outer space), but its weight depends on how the mass is affected by gravity. So it's convenient to measure weight using scales. If the object was sitting on some scales as they were both falling to earth the scales would show zero because there would be no pressure from the object.


Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?

In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.


What is a zero object?

A zero object is an object which is both an initial object and a terminal object.


What describes the notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the objects weight?

Bouyancy is defined as the force on a object submerged in a fluid equal to the difference in weight of the object and the fluid displaced. If the total weight of the object is the same as the same volume of the fluid, the bouyant force is zero, and the object will stay in the same place.


In 0 gravity the mass of an object comes to be not defines than how can the mass of an object come constant everywhere?

Mass does not depend on gravity. At zero gravity the object will have the same mass as at a higher gravity. What changes is the object's weight. The fact that the object still has mass can be ascertained from its inertia - it will take a force to make it move, or to stop it.Mass does not depend on gravity.
