the gravitational power of the planets are different.weight of any substance depend on both gravitational and magnitude(mass).since mass dose not change any planet but gravitational force change so weight is different at different planet.

What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
What affects weight?
Weight is affected by gravity. Gravity pulls you down causing you to have weight on Earth. Depending on gravity your weight changes. On earth gravity is 9.8 m/s squared.
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.
Does weight vary according to the force of gravity?
yes as the wight is directly proportional to gravity. In fact, weight itself is a force, as force is F=ma, such as weight on earth (or F) is a persons mass times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.8 m/s2), and the force due to gravity changes depending where you are sense force due to gravity is F=G(m1m2/r2). So changing the mass of the planet changes the "weight" (aka force)
How does gravity affect weight on a planet?
The importantidea here is a planet's "surface gravity". That's the measure of the planet's gravitational "pull"at its surface. The larger this number, the heavier the weight ofan object on the surface of the planet. For example, the "surface gravity" on Mars is only 38% of the Earth's. So, if you could be on the surface of Mars, your weight would be 38% of your weight on Earth.
Why is your gravity less on other planets?
On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.
What affects an objects weight?
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. An object's weight/gravity increases with its mass, and decreases with its distance from the gravity producer (for example, planet Earth).
What do you do to find your weight on other planets?
Multiply your Earth weight by . . .(acceleration of gravity on that planet)/9.807
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.
On what planet would you weight the same if you were on earth?
Venus has the closest gravity in comparision with Earth at 0.88. On Venus, you would weight 0.88 what you weigh on Earth. The next closest planet is Saturn, at 1.12.
Why is the weight of an object on earth different from its weight on the moon?
Because earth is a larger planet than the moon, it has a stronger gravity. Bigger the planet > Stronger the gravity. That is the rule. Since our moon is a much smaller planet, it has weak gravity, and so the object is not being pulled down as hard, so it reduces the overall mass.
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
