What determines how much you weigh on any planet or the moon?

There are only 3 variables. Your mass, the mass of the planet or moon that you are on, and the diameter of that planet or moon. You can then mathematically determine your weight in accordance with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.


What is the maximum weight a planet can get to?

There is no maximum weight that a planet can get to. A planet's weight depends on its mass and the gravity it has.


Does earths mass determine its location in the solar system?

No. A planet's mass does not determine the position of its orbit.


How do you calculate weight into mass?

Weight is the product of (mass) multiplied by (the acceleration of gravity on the planet where the mass is)


How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?

Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.


What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?

Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.


How do you Determine the mass of a planet?

You can determine the mass of any planet by astronomically determining the planet's orbital radius and period. Then calculate the required centripetal force and equate this force to the force predicted by the law of universal gravitation using the sun's mass


How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater than earth why?

Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.


What do astronomers use to classify an object as a planet?

The mass and weight of the object classifies the object as a planet. For example Pluto's mass and weight proved to be too small for a planet therefore, it classifies as a dwarf planet.


Is weight an appropriate measure for matter?

One of many, yes. Weight will determine the matter's 'mass', since those two properties are inextricably linked in a gravity well (on the surface of a planet).


Will your mass change from planet to planet?

No. Your mass will stay the same. Your weight, however, will change in direct proportion to each planet's gravity.


What is the mass of 64.44 grams?

The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
