What do you do to find your weight on other planets?

Multiply your Earth weight by . . .(acceleration of gravity on that planet)/9.807


Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?

No. Weight is affected by gravity.


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.


Why do you weigh more on earth that other planets?

You don't, necessarily. On Jupiter you would weigh more than twice your weight on Earth. Your weight would be different on the different planets because the strength of gravity varies.


How does weight differ depending on gravity?

Weight, mathematically speaking, is just mass times acceleration due to gravity. Mass is inherent in the object being weighed, and does not change. However, gravity can change (albeit very slightly) even on different points on the earth's surface. And comparing the earth's surface to that of other planets, gravity changes radically due to the difference between Earth's mass and that of other planets. So the greater gravity is, the greater the weight of a particular object will be. This explains the difference between weights of an object on the earth versus that on other planets -gravity is different on different planets. It also explains why comparing the weights of two objects at the same point on the earth's surface shows the difference in the mass of the two objects: the acceleration due to gravity is the same, so that masses are the only things that change.


Will object's weight change on other planets?

Yes. Weight is a function of the planets gravity. For example. The moon is 1/6th the size of the earth, therefore it exerts 1/6ths the gravity pull on everything around it. When the astronauts went to the moon, they weighed 1/6th of what they weighed on earth. This allowed them to pick up very heavy items and jump really high.


Why does earth have gravity and other planets don't?

The other planets do have gravity.


Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?

because the earth is a small planet and people live on it where as other planets have nothing apart from little bacteria lol


Does earth's magnetic field only affect other planets?

No. Earth's magnetic field only affects earth, not other planets.


Why does earth help other planets?

Since no one from Earth has visited another planet, and we have no indication that there is anyone on the other planets, Earth does not help other planets in any way. Why do you think there is something Earth does to help them- whoever them is.


Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?

yes, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun


What are Earth and the other planets closest to the sun are made mostly of?

Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
