Weight depends on mass. More specifically, weight = mass x gravity.
---
A body's weight is really just the force drawing it toward the earth. For our purposes, we can use Newton's law of gravitation which states that this force is given by Gm1me/r2, where G is the gravitation constant, m1 is the mass of the body, me is the mass of the earth and r is the distance between the body and the earth. G, m1 and me do not change as a body moves into space; however, that distance r becomes larger which makes the force smaller, and that force is the body's weight.

What happens when you force gas into a smaller space?
it might explode if you put it in a smaller space.
Does matter have weight and take up space?
yeh matter have weight and take out space
What occurs when the same amount of matter occupies a smaller amount of space?
mass is the quantity of material in a substance, and volume is the space occupied. The density of a material is its mass (weight) per unit volume. Grams per cubic centimetre would be an example.
What did he do with the gravity?
Gravity is the resulting force created, as infinitely smaller and smaller masses orbit larger masses in space, which allows matter to become compacted into smaller and more dense proximity, and at the same time, creating a relative void in space, which causes the less massive of two bodies in space, to continually fall toward the more massive body in space.
How does zero gravity affect someone in space?
with no gravity in space you essentially can fly around. you weight a 1/3 of your normal weight on the moon.
Is your weight bigger or smaller in space?
Your weight is much less in space due to the lack of gravity, and when your in space your weight is literally near-nothing. Your mass stays the same though.
What part of your body bears your bodys weight?
Your feet
When the bodys water moves from bloodstream into interstitial space?
This is called edema.
Will margarine with wheat bread increase weight?
yes because they are both fatty foods, most bodys will increase weight.
What is 98.5 percent of bodys weight?
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and calcium.
What is earth and 8 other planets and thousands of smaller bodys that all revavle around the sun?
This is the solar system.
One third of bodys weight is made up of water you need the answer for school?
The bidy is 70% water
Why atheletes have a smaller reaction time than non athelets?
because they train their bodys to be faster. they train to have quicker reactions.
What happens when you force gas into a smaller space?
it might explode if you put it in a smaller space.
What is volume weight and density?
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
What happens to the animals when the space where they live become smaller?
t happen to the animals when the space where they live become smaller?
What is the weight of person in the space?
weight of the person in space is zero because there is no gravity
