Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
If your weight is 58 on earth it is different on the moon because the gravitational pull on the moon is different.
Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because there is less gravity on the moon
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
YES!
Because of the gravity.
Because of the gravity.
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
i was taught that on the moon, your weight would be 11% of your weight on earth.
Your weight would be about 1/6th of your weight on Earth when standing on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull. This means that if you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 30 pounds on the Moon.
