Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.
Why does a persons weight decrease on the Moon?
A person's weight decreases on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, so a person weighs less because there is less gravitational pull on their body.
Why are people lighter on the moon than on the earth?
the gravitational force of the earth is much stronger then on the moon. Also, a person is not "lighter". their mass is the same, it is the weight of the person. Weight is a unit of measurement. You are lighter on the moon than on earth because there is 1/6 less gravity.
Do people weigh less on the moon than on earth?
Yes, there is much less gravity on the moon.Yes. A person's mass does not change but, because weight factors in the force of gravity acting on the person's mass, their weight is different on the moon. The moon creates a smaller force of gravity, therefore, a person's weight is lower on the moon.
Why do you weight less on the moon?
You weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less mass and gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so your weight appears to be lighter on the moon.
Would a person weigh less on Pluto or the Moon?
A person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Pluto because the Moon has less mass and weaker gravity than Pluto. The gravitational pull on Pluto is stronger due to its larger mass, causing a person to weigh more on Pluto than on the Moon.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
On the Moon is my weight is the same?
You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.
Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?
You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on the Moon.
Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb?
To calculate the weight of a person on the Moon, we need to divide their weight on Earth by 6. This means that a person weighing 183 lb on Earth would weigh approximately 30.5 lb on the Moon. This calculation is based on the Moon's gravity being about 1/6th that of Earth's.
How much less do you weight on the Moon than you do on Earth?
On the Moon one weighs one-sixth the weight on Earth.
Why is weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.
