Does gravity affect an objects with greater mass weight or both?

Gravity effects heavier objects. In other words the heavier the object is, the more gravity effects the object which makes it heavy.


Is it true that the more mass a object has the more gravity pulls on it?

No, the more mass of an object the more gravity it exerts.


Which pulls with greater force on the earth's oceans the sun or the moon?

The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon.

How can you weigh more on the earth than you would on the moon and still have the same mass in both places?

Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.


Why is the density of lead the same on the Moon as it is on Earth?

Density is based off mass and volume, not weight and volume. Weight is a measurement of gravity, and changes based on strong the pull of gravity is in the area. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and does not change based on the pull of gravity. Density is Mass/Volume. Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. The more condensed matter is, the higher its density.

What does weight have to do with matter?

Matter is what is in an object...it is what something is made of.Weight is the effect of gravity on an object.The more matter in an object, the greater effect gravity has on that object, making it weigh more than another object with less matter.Don't forget that size does not always show how heavy something is...If you have a small object which is really dense (contains a lot of matter), it may weight more than a larger object with a low density.


How is an objects mass measured?

the amount of matter that an object contain the more mass an object has the greater its weight

Why is the force of gravity of the sun is greater than the force of gravity of a car?

It all comes down to mass. The more mass an object has the greater it's gravitational force is. Mass is the amount of matter or "stuff" an object has which we usually refer to as weight because it is being pulled down by the Earth. An object from Earth in space would have little to no weight yet have the same about of mass.


Is Mars filled with gravity?

Filled with gravity? It does have gravity, just not as great as Earth's since it is smaller. The greater an object, the more gravity it has to pull objects close to it.


Does solidity affect the gravity of an object?

If by solidity is meant density then yes - the denser is the matter the object is made of, the more matter there is in a cube of its volume, the more its mass, so the more its gravity. The gravity of two objects towards each other is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.


What happens to gravitational force when there is change in mass?

It decreases. For the greater the mass of the object, the more gravity is has.


How does the strength of gravitational force on earth differ between a mountain and a car?

The more massive object will have a greater mass. Mass and gravity are interrelated. More mass, more gravity.


How do you make a sentence with the word crediblity?

The more matter an object contains, the greater its mass


Why do airplanes defy gravity?

Airplanes do not "defy gravity", any more than you do when you walk upstairs. In both cases, an upward force is generated that is greater than the downward force of gravity on an object. Since the net force on the object is then upward, the object accelerates upward.


Is it true that the more mass a object has the more gravity pulls on it?

No, the more mass of an object the more gravity it exerts.
