Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
If you weigh 220 lbs on earth how much would you weigh 200 miles above the earth?
About 35 pounds.
How much does a spaceship weigh?
In space, nothing: it has mass but no weight. On a planet or moon it depends on the gravity of that planet or moon as well as the mass of the spaceship.
Why are astronauts in space weightless?
Although the Earth's gravity has a lesser effect on an astronaut orbiting the Earth in a spaceship than on a person on the surface of the Earth, this is not the reason why an astronaut experiences weightlessness. The space shuttle, International Space Station and most other manned vehicles don't get that far from the Earth. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top. Put another way, a person who weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surface would weigh about 89 pounds at the top of the ladder.
How much will you weigh on venus if you weigh 180 on Earth?
If you weigh 180 pounds here on Earth, on Venus, you'd weigh 158.04 pounds.

How much does Spaceship Earth weigh?
It weighs sixteen million pounds, is 180 feet tall, and takes up two million cubic feet of space.
How much does a spaceship weigh?

When her space vehicle is 6400 km above the earth's surface she will weigh one quarter of what she weighed on earth what does she weigh at that point in space?
That can't be calculated if you don't know her original weight. Take whatever she weighs on Earth, and divide that by four.
Would you weigh the same on mercury as you do on earth?
No. On Mercury you would weigh 37% of what you weigh on Earth.
Where in the Earth would you weigh the most 5km above the surface of the Earth 5km below the surface of the Earth at the center of the Earth on the Earths surface?
You would weigh the most on the surface, where the most gravitational energy is below you.As you enter the Earth, gravitational force is also exerted from the mass above, meaning that when you reach the center, the gravitational force will be equal from all directions, leaving you weightless.As you depart the surface of the Earth, you will lose weight as the gravitational force weakens with distance.
If you weigh 102 lb on earth how much would you weigh on earth?
You would weigh 102 lb.
How much will you weigh on venus if you weigh 180 on Earth?
If you weigh 180 pounds here on Earth, on Venus, you'd weigh 158.04 pounds.
How heavy are you on Mercury?
You will weigh just 37.8% of whatever you weigh on Earth. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth you will weigh 56.7 pounds on Mercury.
Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship 800 kilometers above earth?
The farther you are from the center of the Earth, the less you weigh. Heaviest . . . the lowest point on Earth's surface (shore of the Dead Sea) Lightest, while on the Earth . . . Top of Mt. Everest Lighter . . . in an airplane, at altitude higher than Mt. Everest Still lighter . . . farther from the surface
