Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?

I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.


Which natural process can change the earths surface though glaciers wind and flooding?

Mudslides


Does gravity make you fat?

Not really. Eating a high fat diet and not exercising will. Our bodies are suited to Earths gravity, maybe if there was more gravity, we would be shorter and more of a stocky shape. If the gravity was less, then we could get away with being a lot taller. This is more down to the effort required to lift ourselves though and the effort required by the heart to pump blood etc. The higher the gravity the more effort. Our shape wouldn't really change if we visited such planets, but the inhabitants there may have developed different shapes that are related to the strength of gravity.


What Effect of gravity?

Gravity causes older people to shrink. Answer Had to chuckle at the first answer though it is not true. Gravity is that force , said to originate from the center of the earth, which affects everything within its influence by attracting it to the earths center. Luckily we have a hard mantle beneath our feet that prevents this from happening.

How do you plummet in elevator on Sims 2?

You have to use the elevator many times, then the chances will increase. there is no 100% chance though.


Does gravity repair the universe?

yes, the gravity is the only major force to regulate the shape and integrity of universe, whenever a slight change in unverse even though negligible like supernova explosion, the gravity does the repair and nutralise.


Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?

Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.


What is a land change?

Land formations can change at any time. They are caused by movements in the Earths tectonic plates. Landforms can go from a flat plain to a rough hilly area. It does though take time but can happen.


How do you stay on the moon without floating off?

The moon's gravity will hold you on the moon. It is not as strong as that of earth though so you will weigh much less and be able to jump much higher.


There are 15 people in an elevator and 7 people in another elevator which elevator is more dense and why?

The first elevator is more dense because it has a higher number of people (15) compared to the second elevator (7), even though both elevators may have the same physical dimensions. Density is calculated by mass (number of people in this case) divided by volume (elevator space), so in this scenario, the first elevator is more densely packed with people.


Do rocks have gravity?

Yes. everything with mass has gravity. Something the size of an everyday rock, though, does not have enough mass for its gravity to be noticeable.
