What weighs more the moon or all the animals on earth put together?

Answer 1

Not really a scientific question... but here goes:

1 mole is 6.02214179*10^23

Lets assume each elephant weight 5 tons and the moon weighs 7.6*10^22 kilograms.

1 mole of elephants weighs: 5000 kg * 6.02214179*10^23 = 3.011070895*10^27 kilograms.

3.011070895*10^27 kg - 7.6*10^22 kg = 3.010994895*10^27 kg more.

To put this number in perspective:

3.011070895*10^27 kg / 7.6*10^22 kg = 39619

So 1 mole of elephants would weigh as much as 39619 moons

Answer 2

Anything, including an elephant, weighs less on the moon than it does on Earth ...

about 83% less.
The Moon has less mass and therefore would attract the mass of the elephant less than the the Earth's larger volume of mass

Answer 3

The mass of the Moon is 7.4 × 10²² kg

A large elephant weighs about 6,000kg

So the number of elephants which weigh the same as the Moon is:-

7.4 × 10²² kg / 6000 = 12,333,333,333,333,333,334 elephants.

The surface area of the Earth is 510,072,000 km² which gives 510,072,000,000,000 square meters.

So, if we put an elephant standing on it's leg in one square meter of Earth, we would need, 510,072,000,000,000 elephants.

Which means we have 12,332,823,261,333,333,334 spare Elephants.

Obviously this is not the case, so the Moon is heavier.

Hopefully my maths is correct. If not, can someone update it.

Answer 4

Less. The Moon has less gravity than Earth.

Less. The Moon has less gravity than Earth.

Less. The Moon has less gravity than Earth.

Less. The Moon has less gravity than Earth.

Answer 5

An object's weight is defined as the force with which gravity pulls down on it. Since the moon has less gravity, it would pull down on the elephant less, and therefore the elephant would weigh less on the moon. It's important to note that weight is a force (measured in newtons).

In contrast, the mass of the elephant (measured in kilograms) would be the same on the Earth and on the moon. The mass doesn't change. Loosely speaking, mass can be thought of as a measure of how much "stuff" the object has in it, and it also tells you how much inertia the object will have.

Answer 6

Gravity on the moon is approx 1/6 that of earth. An elephant that weighs

5000 lbs on earth would weigh about 833 lbs on the moon

Answer 7

We weigh less on the moon than on earth because gravitational force of moon is less than that of earth.

Answer 8

The same 1 kg weighs about 1.6 newtons on the moon.

Answer 9

Less - an object on the Moon weighs about 1/6 of what it weighs on Earth.

Answer 10

Less. The Moon has less gravity than Earth.
