The greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity.

How will the gravitational force affect aliens?

Depends on the gravity they were raised in. It would, at first, depend on the gravity they were living in while traveling here. Our astronauts are badly effected by gravity when they return from space. The longer they were in space the worse the effect. In space they exhibit bone calcium loss. Our bodies would probably adapt well to space if we lived there, but the changes would probably upset some people.


How can you get instant weight loss on another planet?

Technically, it is not an actual "weight loss". Our weight is determined heavily by the gravity on Earth. Other planets have either more, less, or similar gravity to us. If the planet has a different gravity, a person will seem to weight less due to the forces needed to hold them down to the ground. Once the return to Earth, however, their weight will not have changed at all.


What would happen if Earth was bigger?

If the Earth were larger, there would probably be an increase in gravity. (assuming the new Earth had the same density as the old one.) A larger gravity would gather the atmosphere closer to the ground, (which might be tough on Everest climbers) and the atmosphere would be more dense, and not quite as thick. With a greater gravity, the loss of light gases would be reduced, but only by a little.


How do you get weight loss on another planet?

Some other planets (but not all) have less gravity (such as Mars). So you feel like you weigh less, though the size of your body hasn't changed.


Why do planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?

The forces of gravity and motion balance each other (almost perfectly) The planets do loose some energy so they are drifting very slowly inward towards the Sun but it will take so long to fall all the way that the Sun will probably swell and consume the inner planets before the loss of orbital energy will cause the planets to fall into our star. The moons and the planets stay in orbit because of gravitational pull.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of zero gravity?

Advantages of zero gravity include reduced strain on the body, which can alleviate back pain and muscle tension, and enhanced mobility for exploration or activities. Disadvantages include the loss of bone density and muscle mass, which can lead to health issues, and challenges in performing tasks that rely on gravity, such as eating and using tools. Also, adaptation back to Earth's gravity can cause post-flight physiological issues.


Would artificial gravity on the ISS eliminate the problem of muscle wastage and loss of bone density?

There is no artificial gravity on the ISS. To minimize the problem of muscle wastage and loss of bone density caused by lack of gravity, astronauts and cosmonauts exercise periodically on treadmill machines while using several bungee cords to hold them down against the treadmill track. Nothing particularly fancy or elegant.
