The mass of an object stays the same no matter where it is, as it still has the same amount of matter in it (the definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object). However, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on. The equation W = m * g where W is the weight, m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the celestial body (which changes from body to body) shows that an object's weight would change with the planet's gravitational acceleration. For example, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is about 25m/s^2. So let's work out the equations with a 100 kg mass.
Earth:
W=mg
W=100kg*9.8m/s^2
W=98 kg/m/s^2
or 98 newtons
Jupiter:
W=mg
W=100kg*25m/s^2
W=250 kg/m/s^2
or 250 newtons
So, (250/98 = ~2.5) things weigh about 2.5 times more on Jupiter, but have the same mass.
The weight decreases, weight is the effect of Earth's gravity on an objects mass, So if you go to the Moon where the gravity is less than Earth's you would weight less
Mass does not change
Weight changes with gravity proportionally
Mass stays same, weight increases.
The weight decreases.
Yes, an object's weight can change even if its mass remains constant. This happens if it moves to a place with different gravity. An object on the Moon would weigh only one sixth of what it did on Earth.
It masses increases and the weight increases
Center of the Solar SystemThe object that the earth moves around, which is the sun, is located at the center of our galaxy.
The weight of a spaceship does not change as it leaves the earth, but it does change as it moves from one location to another within the gravitational field of a celestial body such as the earth. The weight of an object is a measure of the force of gravity on that object. It is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of an object, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter it contains and is a constant property of the object. So, while the weight of a spaceship may change as it moves within the gravitational field of a celestial body, its mass remains constant.
They are both satellites to an object which means that they are similar. The moon revolves around the earth, while it is also orbiting around the sun. There is really no difference, but the moon is a satellite that revolves around an object that is turning, and the earth is an object that only turns around the sun.
the weight of an object grows more
The mass remains the same.
Yes. The mass doesn't change as it moves around. The weight does.
Yes, an object's weight can change even if its mass remains constant. This happens if it moves to a place with different gravity. An object on the Moon would weigh only one sixth of what it did on Earth.
It masses increases and the weight increases
Center of the Solar SystemThe object that the earth moves around, which is the sun, is located at the center of our galaxy.

the shadow moves with it.
Moves.
The Earth cannot move into it's own shadow, as the Earth is not a self-illuminating object, such as a desk lamp, which can cast a shadow on itself.
