Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
On the moon would your mass be less that it is on Earth and your weight would be the same?
False
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.
Would the weight of a person be the same on the surface of the moon and the earth?
The weight of an object is the product of its mass (M) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). We represent this product as mass, m times (x) acceleration (g) = mg. On the moon, (g) is less than that on the earth. Hence every object on the moon will have a lower or smaller weight when compared with its weight on the earth. The quantity of matter in both locations will be the same, but the product or weight will be different. This is taught in physics and experienced by astronauts. That is why astronauts can move around and carry weights with less hindrance. A man on the moon could, (except for the strings and tubes that hold him) run faster on the moon when compared with his speed on earth if he has as much oxygen to breath.
How would weight lifting be different on the moon compared to earth?
You weight less
What is the Weight on mercury compared to earth?
Things weigh much less
How much would a person weigh on mars planet compared to on earth?
About 2 times less, so if you weigh 50 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 18(mars is a bit less massive than half the size of earth) on Mars.
Would an astronant weigh less on on the moon then on the earth?
Yes. This is why they wear extra weight on their boots to keep them from floating above the surface of the moon. The moon has less gravitational pull due to its smaller size compared to the Earth.
Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?
Weight decreases as gravity decreases.
Is the mass of the astronaut on Mars bigger smaller or the same compared with on Earth?
You would have the same mass on the Earth as you would on the moon. You would just weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity there than on the moon.
On the moon would your weight be less than on earth?
Yes.
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?
falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.
Would you weight more on the moon than you do on the earth?
You would weigh less
On the moon would your mass be less that it is on Earth and your weight would be the same?
False
