How do you find the weight of an object if given only the mass and the planet the object is on?

-- In a reference book or on-line, look up the acceleration of gravity on the surface of that planet. -- Multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is. The result is the object's weight in that place.


How can you increase an object's gravitational potential energy?

By raising the object to a higher position. The potential energy also depends on the force of gravity, and on the object's mass, but for a given object (and for a given planet!), you have no control over these.


Is planet x the smallest planet?

"Planet X" is a temporary title given to a newly discovered planet with no official designation. The title is dispensed with once a planet is given a permanent designation. There is no specific planet called "Planet X." Several planets, including Pluto, have been called this before being named. Believers of the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory sometimes claim that "Planet X" is the name that NASA has given "Nibiru," a mythical planet-like object, as part of a cover up. As 'Planet X' might be any planet, it might be any size.


How many planet is struenis a way from the sun?

There is no object in our Solar System that has been discovered, observed, and given the name 'Struenis'.


What directive?

The path or course of a given movement, or moving body; an indication of the point toward which an object is moving.


What is the darkest nearest planet to the sun?

I'm not sure what you meant by this question. The nearest planet to the sun is Mercury; and the side of the planet facing away from the sun at any given time would of course be dark.


Is planet x out there?

Yes and no. "Planet X" is a designation given temporarily to any new planet with no name. It does not refer to a specific planet, and once a planet is given a name, 'Planet X' is discarded as a title. Several planets, including Pluto, have been referred to as "Planet X."Supporters of the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory sometimes claim that "Planet X" is NASA's method of keeping "Nibiru," a mythical, large planet-like object, secret, as part of a cover up. There is no scientific foundation for this "theory."


What planet hit Earth creating the moon?

Scientists think this probably happened and that the "planet" was about the size of Mars. However, it was several billions of years ago and the object that hit Earth is not usually given a name.


What object in the solar system has the most gravitational force a planet has?

At any given distance, the object with the greatest mass also has the greatest gravitational force. That's the Sun. The Sun also has the largest surface gravity.


Is Planet Nibiru a HOAX?

Yes, absolutely. There is no planet, or asteroid, or any celestial object named "Nibiru", and the specifications given to "Nibiru" cannot exist. "Nibriu" was the name of a Babylonian god of the underworld; perhaps that's an appropriate name for a mythical but scary non-planet.


What does planet X have on it?

That's a rather difficult question; "Planet X" is a temporary title that may refer to any planet that may or may not exist, or does not have a permanent designation. Therefore, as "Planet X" may be any newly found planet that has yet to be confirmed, it may have nearly anything on it. For a while, Pluto was referred to as "Planet X," but was then verified and given a permanent name.Believers of the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory sometimes claim that "Planet X" is the name NASA has given to "Nibiru," a mythical planet-like object, as part of a conspiracy/cover up. There is no scientific foundation for this "theory."


Is there a planet called the X planet?

"Planet X" is the temporary name given to a planet that lacks a designation. Pluto was, at one point, known as Planet X. Some members of the cults that have formed around the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory believe, in ignorance, that 'Planet X' is NASA's secret name for Nibiru, a mythical, large, planet-like object that is predicted (by Nancy Lieder) to collide with Earth.
