What happens to your weight if the mass of the earth increases?

If the mass of the earth were to increase, then the forces that attract you and the
earth toward each other would increase. You would say that your weight has
increased. Nobody ever measures the force in the other direction ... the earth's
weight on you ... but we know that the forces are equal in both directions, so
that one would also increase.

When your mass increases what happens to your weight?
If your mass increases, your weight also increases.
How weight can change?
As the mass of a body or things is constant , the weight only depends on the the gravity 'g'. As the gravity increases with the decrease of the hight of the mass from the centre of the earth , the mass also increases with the decrease of hight from the centre of the earth.
What happens to weight as mass increases?
Nothing, "mass" is a property of matter and is constant. Weight is the force of attraction of one mass to another (the affect of gravity on a mass). Thus if weight increases it means that the mass is in a stronger gravity field.
What affects an objects weight?
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. An object's weight/gravity increases with its mass, and decreases with its distance from the gravity producer (for example, planet Earth).
What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
When your mass increases what happens to your weight?
If your mass increases, your weight also increases.
What happens to weight as mass is increased?
As the mass increases, the weight also increases correspondingly as the weight is directly proportional to the mass
What happens to the mass of an element when it burns?
The weight of it increases

What happens to gravitational force as the mass of our body increases?
As the mass of our body increases, the mutual gravitational forces between us and the Earth increase, directly in proportion to the product of the masses. Others may call it "putting on weight", but we like the other description better.
What happens to the mass of an astronaut when he is on the moon?
Nothing, but his weight is 1/6 of his weight on Earth.
What happens to the height of a weight hanging on a copper wire when its heated?
it went up because the mass increases
What happens to the weight of an object if the mass increases?
The mass increases. I did this a year ago in a 10th grade lab.The mass increases, I did this in a lab in seventh and eighth grade, we added 10 mL of water into a container every time we measured and the mass increased.But:If you take 10 ml of liquid water and increase it's volume by turning it into a gas then the volume increases with no increase in mass.
What happens to the mass of an object what happens to the acceleration?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
When a substance is heated what happens in mass volume and weight?
Both the mass and weight remain unchanged. However; generally; the volume increases due to the thermal expansion of the substance when heated up.
What happens to the weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to mars?
The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.
