Gravity- The natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body, such as Earth, upon objects at or near its surface, tending to draw them toward the center of the body.

Note: Different planets and moons vary in shape and size, which causes varying levels of gravity between each planet/moon.

What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?

The mass of the object remains the same since it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, but the weight changes because weight is dependent on gravity, which varies from planet to planet. If the gravitational force on the new planet is different than on Earth, the weight of the object will be different.


Why is your weight different in other planet than in earth?

When you are on a planet your weight depends on how massive the planet is and how close to the center you are (planet's radius). That's because the planet is attracting you with the force of gravity and the force is larger if its mass is larger and the distance to the center is smaller. Since the different planets have different masses and different sizes the gravitational force on you will be different, so your weight will be different.


Why will weight be different on planets?

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.


What is the weight on the planet?

The weight of an object on a planet depends on the planet's gravity and the mass of the object. The formula to calculate weight is Weight = Mass x Gravity. So, weight on a planet will be different from the weight on Earth depending on the planet's gravity.


If a person weighs 65 pounds on earth then how much does he weigh?

The weight of a person is dependent on the gravitational pull of the celestial body they are on. Therefore, if a person weighs 65 pounds on earth, their weight would be different on another planet with a different gravitational force.


How can you get instant weight loss on another planet?

Technically, it is not an actual "weight loss". Our weight is determined heavily by the gravity on Earth. Other planets have either more, less, or similar gravity to us. If the planet has a different gravity, a person will seem to weight less due to the forces needed to hold them down to the ground. Once the return to Earth, however, their weight will not have changed at all.


Does your weight change when you go to another planet?

Your weight would change on another planet due to differences in gravitational pull. For example, if you were on a planet with stronger gravity than Earth, your weight would increase. Conversely, if you were on a planet with weaker gravity, your weight would decrease.


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.


Dose mars have things like earth?

No. Every planet is different from another.


How does weight change on earth and other planets?

Weight on Earth is determined by the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. The weight of an object would be different on other planets because each planet has a different gravitational pull. Weight can change depending on the strength of the gravitational force, which varies based on the mass and size of the planet.


How much Geth from Mass Effect weight?

It depends on the planet! All masses are different on each planet, because the gravity is different. But I'm sure you want the weight of them in Earth terms. They're about the weight of a human, only a little heavier, as they are machines.


Why does your weight change on different planets?

Because of gravity Mass is a property of an object measured in kilograms. Weight is a unit of force measured in Newtons. On Earth a 1 kg mass weighs 10 N. Because other planets have different masses they pull things towards them with a different strength. On the Moon 1kg weighs only a fraction of what it does on Earth (but it still has the same mass). This is because the Moon has a lower mass than the Earth (and therefore a smaller gravitational field).
