Why is your weight not the same on the moon then it is on Earth?
The moon has much less mass than Earth does and therefore has weaker gravity.
Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.
Why do you have less weight when you go to the moon?
Weight is the force of gravity between you and the Earth, pulling you together. The moon, which is much smaller than Earth, has less mass so gravity isn't as strong. Therefore, the force between you and the moon will be less.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why do objects weight less on the moon than on earth?
the moon has less gravity... because the moon is smaller and and its gravitational pull is MUCH lower than the earths
If you weighed 36 pounds on the moon how much would you weigh on the earth?
Your weight on the Moon would only be 33 pounds. Why is your weight on the Moon so much less than your weight on the Earth? It's because of the lower gravity on the Moon. Objects on the surface of the Moon experience only 16.5% of the gravity they would experience on Earth.
Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
Is volume on moon different from on earth?
Volume- as in how much space something occupies- does not change. Neither does mass. However, WEIGHT is much less on the moon.
Does the earth and the moon have about the same mass?
The moon has much less mass than the Earth.No, the earth and the moon do not have the same mass. While both are very large, the moon is only 1/81st the weight of earth, with a weight of 7.34 x 10^22 kilograms.
Why is a person lighter on the moon that on Earth?
Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you, and your distance from it. The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and the earth when you're on it.
How much would the person above weigh on the moon?
The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. So take your weight and multiply it by .167 and that is how much you would weigh on the moon.
Why are things lighter on the moon than on earth?
Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you, and your distance from it. The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and the earth when you're on it.
