Where would your weight be greater the moon or earth?

Answer 1

Well, honey, your weight would be greater on Earth than on the Moon. Earth's gravity is about six times stronger than the Moon's, so you'd feel a bit lighter up there in the lunar land. But don't get any ideas about going on a diet, gravity's got your back here on Earth.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a wonderful question! Your weight would be greater on Earth compared to the Moon. You see, the Moon is much smaller than Earth, so its gravitational pull is weaker, making you weigh less there. But remember, no matter where you are, you are always valued and loved just as you are.

Answer 3

Your weight would be greater on Earth than on the Moon. This is because weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object, and Earth has a greater mass and stronger gravitational pull than the Moon.

Answer 4

The pleasure of being there and actually stepping on a bathroom scale has so far
eluded me. But knowing what I do on the general topic of gravity, I know how to
calculate it.

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.623m/s2 , compared to 9.807m/s2 on
Earth. Cutting directly to the chase without passing GO, that means that my weight
on the moon will be 1.623/9.807 = 0.1655 what it is on Earth, or 31.94 pounds. (rounded)

Answer 5

The Earth.

Reason ; The gravitational acceleration on Earth is greater than the gravitational acceleration on the Moon.

Be the person on the Earth or the Moon, they still have the same amount of matter.

However, when that mass is multiplied to the gravitational acceleration, we find that the weight on Earth is greater than the weight on the Moon.

If you see film of astronauts on the Moon they appear to bounce or float around; they are still the same size and shape. This is because they weigh less due to less gravitational acceleration on the Moon.

Answer 6

The mass of the object is the same either way. However, "weight" is a function of the attractive force of gravity, and the math for gravity counts both the mass of the object and the mass of the Moon - or the Earth.

Since the Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the "weight" of any object is much less on the Moon.

Answer 7

No. Because the Moon's mass is so much less, you would weigh about one-sixth as much there as you do here.

Which is a good thing, because the spacesuits that the astronauts wear almost double their weight on the Moon.

Answer 8

If you were on the moon, the weight that was measured when you were on earth

wouldn't change. But if you brought a bathroom scale to the moon with you and

stepped on it while you were there, the number it displayed there would be only

about 16 percent of your earthly weight.

Answer 9

An astronaut on the moon will weigh one 1/6 of an astronaut on Earth. This is because the moon has much less gravity and mass than the Earth. For example, an astronaut weighing 150 lbs on earth will only weigh 25 lbs on the moon.

Answer 10

False. Your mass is the same either place, but because the Moon is far less massive itself, the force of gravity is about one-sixth as much on the Moon as it would be on Earth.

Of course, when you add in the mass and bulk of your space suit, you're only about one-HALF as heavy on the Moon.
