What else can I help you with?
Do objects weigh less on the moon than on the earth?
Yes, on the Moon everything weighs 1/6th the weight on Earth.
Does a hammer weigh less on the moon because the moon has a smaller atmosphere?
Yes to the "weigh less" part, no to the "because" part.
Do moon have gravity?
Everything has gravity. Your weight on the moon is about 16 percent of what it is on Earth.
Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?
Remember Newton's 2nd Law of Universal Dynamics. Mathemtically expreesed as F = ma Force equals mass multiplied to acceleration. A person of weight 98 N/kilos on Earth Would satisfy the eq'n. 98 N = m X 9.8 m/s^(2) Hence there mass is m = 98 / 9,8 = 10 kg. Now applying this mass to the Moon F = 10kg x 1.625 m/s^(2) F = 16.25 N would be their weight on the Moon/. The difference is made because of the differences in gravitational acceleration. On Earth people just walk around. On the Moon people 'bounce around' ,because their mass is the same, but gravitational acceleration is much less. See astronauts on the moon, they appear to 'float/bounce'. If man was able to go to a planet with greater gravitational acceleration , we would 'clump' around, very heavy footedly.
Do humans weigh the same on the Moon and the Earth?
No, humans weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less gravity. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravitational force on Earth, so a person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
Does the Moon's mass being less than the Earth's make objects weigh less on the Moon?
Yes, that is exactly what makes you weigh less on Earth then on the Moon, though your mass hasn't changed, your apparent weight does.
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.
Is it true that do you weigh more on the moon than you do on earth?
No, you weigh less because the moon has less mass, or is smaller, than earth whick means that is has less of a gravitational pull.
Why do men weigh less on the moon?
Men weigh less on the moon because the moon's gravitational pull is weaker than Earth's. The gravitational force depends on the mass of the celestial body, so with the moon being smaller than Earth, there is less gravitational force pulling objects towards its surface.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
Why do thing weigh less on the moon?
The moon has weaker gravity than Earth does.
Where would you weigh the least on the Moon or on Venus?
On the Moon, because it has less gravity.
