Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Because gravity varies from planet to planet, an object would weigh different amounts depending on the gravitational pull of that planet. For example, an object would weigh more on a planet with stronger gravity, like Jupiter, and less on a planet with weaker gravity, like Mars.
What are the characteristics that cause a planet to have less gravity?
The force due to gravity of a planet is dependent on the mass of that planet (and to a lesser extent the radius/diameter). If a planet is less massive then it will have a lower gravitational force.
What is the gravity on the planet Io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter, not a planet. Surface gravity is about 18% of the gravity on Earth.
Astronauts weight the same as they would on other planets?
Astronauts' weight would vary on different planets due to differences in gravity. Their weight is determined by the gravitational pull of the planet they are on, so they would weigh less on a planet with weaker gravity and more on a planet with stronger gravity.
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.
What would happen if metals did not exist?
There would be less gravity on earth.
Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
Which planet has less gravity earth or mars?
Mars has less gravity.
Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?
No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?
Weight decreases as gravity decreases.
Does planet Uranus have more or less gravity than earth?
The "surface gravity" is less on Uranus.
Which planet has little gravity and little atmosphere?
This depends on you definition of little. The best fit would probably be Mercury that has virtually no atmosphere and less than 40 % of Earth's gravity on the surface. (Until 2006 Pluto which has even less surface gravity was a planet as well but is now considered a dwarf planet)
What would happen if the earth rotation slowed down?
If the Earth's rotation slowed down, our we would have less gravity, and when we have less gravity we have things floating around for long nights and long days (also due to the planet slowing down). This can lead to many dis functions and could cause the appearance of anti-matter.
Would a smaller planet than earth with the same shape and size have more gravity?
If the planet is smaller, then it can't have the same size. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same density as Earth (and therefore less mass), its surface gravity will be smaller. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same mass as Earth (and therefore more density), its surface gravity will be greater. This is because we would be closer to the planet's center - or to the planet's matter in general.
Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Because gravity varies from planet to planet, an object would weigh different amounts depending on the gravitational pull of that planet. For example, an object would weigh more on a planet with stronger gravity, like Jupiter, and less on a planet with weaker gravity, like Mars.
Why does the weightyou havechange from planet to planet?
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.
Why does this planet have less gravity than the Earth?
because it has less mass.
