Weight is a result of the Earth pulling us down. The force we are pulled down is dependent on Earth's mass, so on another planet (with a different mass) one would be pulled down in a different manner.

Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?
Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.
Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?
yes it does
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
People have different weight on different planets or the moon due to variations in gravitational pull. Gravity is weaker on the moon and certain planets compared to Earth, resulting in a person weighing less. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it changes based on the strength of gravity.
What happens to your weight when you go to a different planet?
Your weight changes. Relatively your weight increase on planets bigger than Earth and your weight usually decreases on planets smaller than Earth.
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
What is the force that makes your weight change on different planets?
Gravity
Why do you weigh more on earth that other planets?
You don't, necessarily. On Jupiter you would weigh more than twice your weight on Earth. Your weight would be different on the different planets because the strength of gravity varies.
What is an object that different on other planets in the solar system?
Weight & gravitational force
What force makes your weight change on planets?
The pull of gravity. Gravity is different on every planet so, it causes your weight to fluctuate.
Why do forces change on different planets and moons?
Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.
Why can a soda weigh different on different planets?
soda weighs differently on different planets because the planets gravitational pull makes the mass of the soda and the weight change because of pressure and different gravitational pull they could also make the soda explode because o fpressure and carbonation
Why would you wigh differently on different planets?
Different mass means different gravity meaning your weight would change. For example divide your weight by six-that's what you would weigh on the Moon.
