There is less gravity on the moon to pull you towards its surface than here on earth. Your mass x gravity(acceleration) = your weight. There is less gravity because the moon has less mass than the earth. All objects with mass have some amount of gravity that pulls them toward other objects with mass. The more mass you have in one spot the greater the pull of gravity there.

9.7% less than you weigh on Earth, 138% more than you weigh on Mars.


Why do you weigh more on earth than on Pluto?

You weigh more on Earth than on Pluto because of the difference in gravitational pull between the two. Earth's gravitational force is much stronger than Pluto's, which causes you to weigh more on Earth.


Does charon weigh more than earth?

No.


Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?

An astronaut would weigh more on Earth than on the moon due to the stronger gravitational pull of Earth. The gravitational force on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects weigh less on the moon than on Earth.


Would you weigh more or less on mercury than on earth?

You would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth due to its lower gravity. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.


Is the plant's mass greater or less than Earth's?
