Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.

What are the two things that change the pull of gravity between two objects?
The pull of gravity is affected by the amount of mass, and by the distance.
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.
Which mathematical statement shows the relationship between gravity and mass?
There is a mathematical relationship between gravity and weight not mass. Mass is some thing that you always have, it doesn't change. But weight is determined by the size of the planet that they are on, bigger planets like Saturn and Jupiter get more gravity therefore making a person's weight differ
The amount of substance in you gravity cant change this?
the answer is mass
How much heavier would you be on Jupiter?
Well, Jupiter is a bigger planet so it has more mass and mass causes gravitational attraction which is a big factor in deciding your weight. Weight=Mass x Acceleration of gravity so the bigger the gravity the bigger your weight so you would weigh more on Jupiter because of its bigger acceleration due to gravity. Your mass is going to stay the same no matter what but the gravity will change.
What can change pull of gravity between objects?
-- the mass of either one of them-- the distance between their centers of mass.Note that nothing else can change the forces of gravity between them.
Is there a difference between a person's mass and their weight?
yes, mass is the amount of stuff you are made of, it does not change, weight depends on the force of gravity, which is why you weigh less on the moon.
How does your amount of matter change when you go to the moon?
Your mass does not change, but your weight does. This is because weight is a measure of the gravimetric attraction between bodies of matter. Because the moon is less massive than the earth and therefor has a smaller amount of gravity, you will weigh less on the moon.
What is the maximum terminal velocity speed for a object falling on planet Jupiter?
There is not one single answer for that. The terminal velocity of an object will depend on the amount of gravity (which wouldn't change much in this case), on the density of the atmosphere (which WILL change quite a bit, depending on what part of the atmosphere you are considering), and on the object's mass, size, and shape.
When you go to the moon does your mass change?
no! because your mass is the same because there is the same amount of gravity
Is there anything in space that has more gravity than Jupiter?
Yes, there are lots of things like that. Gravitational force depends on distance. Usually, when we talk about a planet's "gravity" we mean the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet. That's called the "surface gravity". Earth is smaller than Jupiter. Jupiter has more gravity than Earth. If you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you'd weigh about 240lbs at the "surface" of Jupiter. Then you ask yourself ''Hmmm... what has more gravity than Jupiter?" If the Moon was bigger than Earth it will have more gravity. So the answer is stars, such as: Sun, Sirius A , VY Canis Majoris, and more... Improvement by InunoTaisho: Yes, there are many things in space that can outstrip Jupiter for sheer mass (which is the major factor for gravity). A neutron star. Our very own star, known as "the Sun" or "Sol", has a gravity value MUCH higher than that of Jupiter. A black hole, which is so massive, that its "gravity well" sucks in even photons of light, would suck up all of Jupiter in one gulp, though it might take time. Lots of other stars and planetary bodies are larger than that of our big sister planet. Then we move on to objects that are made of many smaller things, like galaxies or nebulas. They can be mind bogglingly huge enough to eat many Jupiters and not even notice a change in gravity at all... But within our own little solar system, the Sun is gravity boss, with Jupiter placing second.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity change?
No, because mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. So whatever may be the distance from the center of gravity it always remains the same.
