Your mass will not change (unless you go on a diet). On different planets your weight

will change because you will be pulled down with a different force.

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.


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.


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).


What is your mass on other planets?

My mass would be the same on other planets as it is on Earth because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it does not change depending on the location. However, my weight would vary because weight is the result of gravity, which differs on each 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


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.

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.

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.


Why does our mass change if we go to the moon?

Mass is the measure of how much material is present. So if you travel somewhere, your mass does not change (except if you get fat or go on a diet)
