Yes, because on different planets you are being pulled down by a different mass.

If the gravity of that planet is more your weight will be more the gravity is less weight will be less.

Yes, unless the two planets have exactly the same gravitational force. The person's mass remains the same, but weight changes partially based on the amount of gravity.

Why can your weight change if you go to another planet but your mass will not change?

Your mass is the amount of stuff that makes up our body. It can only change if you either remove something from your body or add something to it. Your weight is the amount of force you experience from gravity. It depends on both your mass and the strength of the gravity. Since the strength of gravity varies between the planets, so will your weight.


Go to another planet will your mass change?

Your mass will not change (unless you go on a diet). On different planets your weightwill change because you will be pulled down with a different force.


Weight and mass on other planets?

If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.


On what planet would you be the heaviest?

The weight depends upon the mass of the planet. A larger planet has a larger gravitational 'pull', hence Jupiter, being of a great mass objects will weigh the heaviest. To calculate your weight on other planets go to the website below, under 'Related links'.


How can you go inside earth and you can't in any other planet?

Because you first have to be on another planet in order to go inside it, and we haven't gotten there yet. (It would be interesting to know what you mean by "go inside.")

Does the mass change from place to another?

mass of a body doesn't change but your weight (as defined by the pull of gravity) will change if you go to space or to another planet with different gravitational pull than ours


What is a measure that will not change if you go to space or another planet?

mass


Explain how are weight and force related?

Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.


Can you lose weight without losing mass?

Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.

Would your weight change if you go to a different planet?

Yes. Depnding on the size, it would either go up or down. the Mass says the same.

How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?

Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.


Why do the space probes go to another planet first then go to the distant one?

Because Cinderella's fairy godmother tolled the probes to go to another planet first.
