Yes, because on different planets you are being pulled down by a different mass.

Go to another planet will your mass change?

Your mass will remain the same regardless of the planet you are on. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. So, your weight will change on a different planet due to differences in gravitational pull, but your mass will stay constant.


Why can your weight change if you go to another planet but your mass will not change?

Your mass is the amount of stuff that makes up our body. It can only change if you either remove something from your body or add something to it. Your weight is the amount of force you experience from gravity. It depends on both your mass and the strength of the gravity. Since the strength of gravity varies between the planets, so will your weight.


Weight and mass on other planets?

If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.


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).


Does weight change on different planets?

Due to the differentiating masses of each Planet, and their gravitational pull, you may gain weight or lose weight on different planets. The more the planet weighs, the higher the gravitational pull, the more you will weigh. The less the planet weighs, the less the gravitational pull, the less you will weigh when on that planet.

Does the mass change from place to another?

mass of a body doesn't change but your weight (as defined by the pull of gravity) will change if you go to space or to another planet with different gravitational pull than ours

What is a measure that will not change if you go to space or another planet?

mass


Can you lose weight without losing mass?

Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.

Would your weight change if you go to a different planet?

Yes. Depnding on the size, it would either go up or down. the Mass says the same.

Why do the space probes go to another planet first then go to the distant one?

Because Cinderella's fairy godmother tolled the probes to go to another planet first.


How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?

Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.

Does the size of a planet affect the time it takes to go around the sun?

no because the planet dose not go fast or slow about its weight it depens on the revalvtation.


What if another planet besides the earth that can support life?

There is a planet that can support life, it is just that the earth still has many years to come before we go to another planet
