Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass is constant, regardless on the acceleration due to gravity of different planets. So, if someone were to compare their mass on Earth and on the Moon, it would be the same, because the amount of matter in object would not change. However, weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object. If you were to weigh yourself on Earth and on the Moon, you'd weigh much less on the Moon since there is less acceleration due to gravity. Recall that acceleration due to gravity on Earth is -9.81m/s^2.
What else can I help you with?
How is your weight different on the moon than earth?
Your weight would be about 1/6th of your weight on Earth when standing on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull. This means that if you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 30 pounds on the Moon.
What is your weight for each planet considering the surface gravity?
Based on surface gravity, your weight on each planet would be: Mercury: 38% of your weight on Earth Venus: 91% of your weight on Earth Mars: 38% of your weight on Earth Jupiter: 236% of your weight on Earth Saturn: 113% of your weight on Earth Uranus: 92% of your weight on Earth Neptune: 113% of your weight on Earth These values are approximate and assume a similar mass and body composition.
Why would you weigh 90 pounds on Venus?
You would weigh 90 pounds on Venus because Venus has a similar gravity to Earth, so your weight would be comparable. The difference in weight between Earth and Venus is minimal due to their similar sizes and mass.
If a person weight 100 pound in Earth how will he weight in Saturn?
The person's weight on Saturn would be different than on Earth because gravitational pull varies depending on the planet. On Saturn, the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so the person would weigh less. The exact weight would depend on Saturn's specific gravitational force.
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.
What property would be different in outer space then on earth?
weight.
Would Venus and earth have a similar or different gravitational pull?
Venus' gravity is 0.88 that of Earth.
How does gravity act on different weight size people?
i was taught that on the moon, your weight would be 11% of your weight on earth.
How is your weight different on the moon than earth?
Your weight would be about 1/6th of your weight on Earth when standing on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull. This means that if you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 30 pounds on the Moon.
Why do you weigh more on earth that other planets?
You don't, necessarily. On Jupiter you would weigh more than twice your weight on Earth. Your weight would be different on the different planets because the strength of gravity varies.
Is the mass greater in a person with more weight?
Yes. Weight and mass are very similar. The difference? Mass is the amount of matter an object has, while weight is the effect of gravity on mass. This is why your weight would be different on the moon, because the gravity is different. Mass would remain the same on the moon as it is on the Earth.
What is your weight for each planet considering the surface gravity?
Based on surface gravity, your weight on each planet would be: Mercury: 38% of your weight on Earth Venus: 91% of your weight on Earth Mars: 38% of your weight on Earth Jupiter: 236% of your weight on Earth Saturn: 113% of your weight on Earth Uranus: 92% of your weight on Earth Neptune: 113% of your weight on Earth These values are approximate and assume a similar mass and body composition.
Why would you weigh 90 pounds on Venus?
You would weigh 90 pounds on Venus because Venus has a similar gravity to Earth, so your weight would be comparable. The difference in weight between Earth and Venus is minimal due to their similar sizes and mass.
The mass of a giraffe on the moon would be?
The same as it would be on Earth. It's weight however would be different. about 1/6th Weight = mass x gravity
Why will weight be different on planets?
Weight is a result of the Earth pulling us down. The force we are pulled down is dependent on Earth's mass, so on another planet (with a different mass) one would be pulled down in a different manner.
If you are 80 pounds how much would you weigh on Venus?
If you weigh 80 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 90.7 pounds on Venus. Venus has a similar gravity to Earth, so the difference in weight would be minimal due to the similar gravitational pull.
If a person weight 100 pound in Earth how will he weight in Saturn?
The person's weight on Saturn would be different than on Earth because gravitational pull varies depending on the planet. On Saturn, the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so the person would weigh less. The exact weight would depend on Saturn's specific gravitational force.
