When an astronaut is propelled into space does his mass increase or decrease?
The mass of an astronaut in space does not change, except for the minor changes that occur due to change in exercise and eating. Mass is mass, and represents the amount of material in an object. His weight, however, does change, because weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity, and gravity does indeed change.
Does your weight change if you travel to Jupiter?
Your weight would change if you traveled to Jupiter due to its strong gravitational pull. Jupiter has a higher gravitational force than Earth, so you would weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.
How does the weight of a space probe vary en route from the earth to moon.would its mass change?
Well mass is unchanging, so lets say its 100kg (rough estimate), it would still be 100kg on earth, it will still be 100kg in Space and on the Moon. Weight however will change. To workout weight you use this equation --> WEIGHT = GRAVITY x MASS, so Earth has a gravitational pull of 10N/kg which would mean its weight on earth was 1000N. Space has no gravitational pull, so it would weigh nothing in Space. And the moon has a gravitational pull of about 1.7N/kg, so it would weigh 170N on the Moon! Hope this helped
Does earth and moon have the same weight?
There is no such thing as weight in space seeing as there is no gravity.
If you weight 300 pounds on space how much will you weight on earth?
If you weigh 300 pounds in space, you would also weigh 300 pounds on Earth. Weight is the force exerted on a mass due to gravity, and the gravitational force acting on an object is similar in space and on Earth.
Do weight change in the space?
Yes it does! Because of the gravity on earth we get pulled down, but in space there ain't anything like this, so we all weight 0kg
Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.
Why does our weight change in space?
Because there is almost no gravity in space. When a person is in orbit just outside of earth, the outward acceleration will cancel out the force of gravity, giving a person zero weight.

Is weight lesser on the earth?
Weight is greater on earth than in space due to gravity.
How you weight would change with the time if you were on a space ship traveling away from earth towards the moon?
It would be Gravitational pull
How your weight would change with time if you were on a space ship traveling away from Earth toward the Moon.?
It would be Gravitational pull
The weight of a spaceship changes as it leaves the earth however its mass does not change.?
true, that's because no matter how gravity changes the weight of what ever is leaving the atmosphere, does not change how big and the space it takes up is.
What does a Gemini space suit weight?
50 pounds in space 150 on earth 50 pounds in space 150 on earth
What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
