Think of your 'mass' as the total amount of 'stuff' that makes up your body. The mass of a rock is all the 'stuff' the rock is made of. How many pounds you weigh depends on two things: How much gravity there is in the place where you're standing, and how much 'stuff' you're made of. The gravity may change on different planets, so your weight may change. But the mass that you're made of doesn't change ... it's the same wherever you go. Whatever planet you're on, the things with more mass in them will weigh more, and the things with less mass will weigh less.

What causes mass wasting?
Mass wasting is caused when there are loose rocks and soil on a mountain, then somthing moves it. Then it all falls down the mountain causing a landslide. Denver Simmons
How does somthing erode?
by water, wind, and gravity moving it
What has no gravity?
Anything with mass has gravity so anything with no mass has no gravity, for example a photon has no mass.
Does gravity depend on mass or weight?
well weight depends on mass and gravity so gravity depends on mass. e.g weight=mass X gravity
How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
Gravity and how mass effects it?
gravity and how mass is effected by it
What is the mass and force of gravity?
Gravity is a force but has no mass.
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
Does mass determine the force of gravity?
You're on to it! Gravity appears to be a property of mass. No mass - no gravity. But exactly what gravity is we don't yet know.
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
What you call mass x gravity?
Weight = mass * gravity
What is mass vs gravity?
There is no such thing as mass vs gravity. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe brought about by mass.
