Why does the heaviest object have a larger mass than the lightest object?

The moon has less gravity
Peggy says: Objects weigh more on the Earth than on the moon because the Earth has a greater mass. The mass of an object determines how much gravity it exerts. The Earth exerts six times the gravity of the moon. A 180 pound person on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds on the moon!

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoon earth, why does an object of large mass weigh more than an object of smaller mass?
Wiki User
∙ 13y agobecause weight is mass time force do to gravity which on earth is 9.8
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIt all has to do with density, which is mass/volume. So, if something is very dense, it can have a large mass but be very small, and vice versa.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoQuite simply, because mass is not the same as volume. Different materials have different densities (mass per unit volume).
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoBecause Earth has a stronger gravitational pull.

On what planet would you be the heaviest?
The weight depends upon the mass of the planet. A larger planet has a larger gravitational 'pull', hence Jupiter, being of a great mass objects will weigh the heaviest. To calculate your weight on other planets go to the website below, under 'Related links'.
What happen gravitation force of attraction between two object if mass of one of the object is halved?
The one with the larger mass would pull the halved mass one toward it
Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
The heaviest mass revolving round the Sun?
jupiter
Which planet is the lighest weight?
Mercury is the lightest planet, with a mass of 0.055 that of Earth.
Which is lightest alkaline earth metal?
The lightest alkaline earth metal is Beryllium(Be) having atomic mass 9.012 dalton. The heaviest element in this family is radium.
Why electron is lightest subatomic particle?
Out of electrons, protons, and neutrons, neutrons are the heaviest subatomic particle, with a mass of about 1838 times that of the electron. (If you are asking about electrons, up quarks, and down quarks, then electrons still aren't the heaviest Down quarks are the heaviest, with almost 10 times the mass of an electron.)
The heaviest commonly used US coin is the half dollar which has a mass of 11.340g The lightest US coin is the dime which has a mass of 2.268g report the sum of these mas?
1.3608*10^1
Where can the most mass be found in an atom?
Essentially all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. In the lightest atom, that of hydrogen, it's about 99.95 percent. In the heaviest naturally occurring atom, that of Uranium238, it's about 99.979 percent.
What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?
when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.
On what planet would you be the heaviest?
The weight depends upon the mass of the planet. A larger planet has a larger gravitational 'pull', hence Jupiter, being of a great mass objects will weigh the heaviest. To calculate your weight on other planets go to the website below, under 'Related links'.
Will the mass of an object affect its force?
Yes. The force =mass x acceleration, f=ma. The larger the mass the larger the force.
Does mass affect acceleration of an fallen object?
No. If there's any difference in the acceleration of different falling objects, it's the result of air resistance. If you could drop them through a space with no air, the lightest feather and the heaviest rock would have the same acceleration. It's called the acceleration of gravity, and it's 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2 on earth. Regardless of the mass of the falling object.
The greater the mass of an object the greater. is?
The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia
Is weight affected by mass?
Yes, the larger the mass the more the object is going to weigh.
What is the lightest object?
Photons (quanta of light) are believed to have zero rest mass, and so would qualify as the lightest objects.The current experimental upper bound for the mass of a photon is 10-18 eV/c2, or (in S.I. units) about 10-54 kg.
How does object volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
