Best Answer

A proton weighs approx. 1 Atomic Mass Unit (A.M.U). this weight is the same as a Neutron, but an electron weighs about 1/2000 of an A.M.U.

Hope this helps!

It weighs 1.673 *10^ -27 kilograms. Here is some more information on protons.

Protons are heavy particles made of three quarks. A proton is 1,836 times heavier than an electron. A proton is about 2*10^-15 meters across (2 femtometers). Protons carry a single positive electric charge.

It is almost as heavy as a neutron. It is approximately one amu, or dalton, or unified Atomic Mass.

(This is my first time on this thing. And this is a science homework -- I'm in 8th grade...)

The rest mass of a proton is 1.672 621 637(83) x e-24 grams i.e. 0.000000000000000000000001673grams.

The most basic way to tell the mass of a proton is to call it 1 atomic mass unit (a.m.u.). One a.m.u. is also the mass of a neutron. But an electron is about 1/2000 of an a.m.u.
