An object doesn't have a single, definite weight. Its weight depends on where it
is and what other masses are nearby, so it can change. You probably know that
whatever your weight is on the Earth, it would be only 1/6 as much on the moon,
so you're familiar with the idea that 'weight' can change.
The Earth has one weight from being 238,000 miles from the moon, and a different
weight from being 93 million miles from the sun.

What is one result of convection currents in earths outer core?
ErosionEarth's magnetic fieldmelted glaciersEarth's force of gravity
Velocity parallel to earths surface?
gravity
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
Which marks the boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
What is makemakes gravity compared to earths gravity?
The acceleration of gravity at its surface is currently estimated as 0.4 m/s2 .That's about 4% of the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.
What is the force of weight of 100 kg man in earths gravity of 9.8?
Weight = mg (mass x gravity).
Does earths gravity give weight to matter?
Yes. Earth's*
What is the pull of earths gravity called?
You call it the "weight" of objects on Earth.
What is the force exerted on an object by the earths pull called?
Gravity, its weight.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
What does the pull of Earth's gravity give to all matter on Earth?
You can consider the affects of earths gravity to that of a giant magnet which attracts everything to it.
Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.
Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
Because there is less gravity. There is less gravity because the moons total mass is less than the earths and gravity is related to mass.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?
Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.
