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.

How do you calculate weight on other planets?

To calculate weight on other planets, you can use the formula: Weight Mass x Gravity. The mass of an object remains the same, but the gravity on different planets varies. You can find the gravity of a planet by looking it up online or using a formula. Then, multiply the mass of the object by the gravity of the planet to find the weight on that planet.


Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?

No. Weight is affected by gravity.


What determines the weight on planets?

Usually, its mass determines its weight.


What is your weight on other planets if your weight on earth is 43 kg?

Kilograms are a measure of mass, and since mass never changes, you would be 42 kg on every planet.


Does mass change on other planets due to gravity?

No. Except for insignificant effects related to Special Relativity, the mass remains constant. The weight, on the other hand, changes. Weight is calcualted as: weight = mass x gravity Where "gravity" is the acceleration due to gravity.


How does mass affect the weight of somebodies weight on other planets?

The formula is:weight = mass x gravity.On Earth, "gravity" is about 9.8 meters/second2, equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram. That means that each kilogram has a weight of 9.8 newton. On other planets, the "gravity" part will be different. For example, on Mars, the gravity is about 3.7 newton/kilogram. Thus, a man with a mass of 100 kilogram (that's well above the average, but simplifies calculations...) would weigh about 980 newton on Earth, and about 370 newton on Mars.


Why is your gravity less on other planets?

On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.


Does your mass change on the planets?

Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.


Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?

Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.


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.


Why is your weight less on some planets and greater on other planets?

Weight is determined by the gravitational pull of a planet. Planets with stronger gravitational forces will make you weigh more, while planets with weaker gravitational forces will make you weigh less. The difference in weight on different planets is due to variations in their mass and size.


Heaviest planet revolving round the sun?

Jupiter is twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is more useful and more accurate to refer to the mass of planets, and not to their weight.
