-- the object's weight
-- the atmospheric pressure on it
-- the temperature around it
-- the intensity of solar radiation on it
-- its distance from the nearest McDonald's
the force of gravity on the surface of the moon is about 1/6th the gravity on the surface of the earth so an object on the moon would weigh about 1/6th what it weighs on earth. The moon´s gravitational field is not strong enough to hold an atmosphere. As the atmosphere in part acts as a heatsink the temperature difference between day and night on the moon is far larger than on the earth.
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.
The periodic changes in the moon's shape are called phases. The moon goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth, including new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
The distance between Earth and Moon changes. Like any object going in an orbit around another object, the Moon moves around Earth in an ellipse, not in an exact circle.
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.
The moon is the closest object to Earth.
Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.
The periodic changes in the moon's shape are called phases. The moon goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth, including new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
The Earth goes around the sun, the moon goes around the Earth.
The moon goes through its phases as it orbits around the Earth. From Earth's perspective, the amount of sunlight we see reflected off the moon changes as its position relative to the Earth and sun changes, causing the different phases like full moon, new moon, etc.
An orbit is the path that an object takes in space when it goes around a star, a planet, or a moon. It can also be used as a verb. For instance: "The earth orbits around the Sun." ... The Earth just has one natural satellite (the Moon), but there are many artificial satellites orbiting the earth.
