The moon has less gravity
Peggy says: Objects weigh more on the Earth than on the moon because the Earth has a greater mass. The mass of an object determines how much gravity it exerts. The Earth exerts six times the gravity of the moon. A 180 pound person on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds on the moon!
What else can I help you with?
Do larger object weighs more than smaller object?
Not necessarily. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, so it depends on the mass of the object. A larger object may weigh more than a smaller object if it has more mass, but size alone does not determine weight.
When two objects of unequal mass orbit where is the center of the mass?
The barycenter. The barycenter of the Earth - Moon system is inside the Earth about 2000 kilometers beneath the surface. The Barycenter of the Charon - Pluto system is in space between those celestial bodies.
Which planet is the lighest weight?
Mercury is the lightest planet, with a mass of 0.055 that of Earth.
On what planet would you be the heaviest?
The weight depends upon the mass of the planet. A larger planet has a larger gravitational 'pull', hence Jupiter, being of a great mass objects will weigh the heaviest. To calculate your weight on other planets go to the website below, under 'Related links'.
Why does a bigger object weigh more?
A bigger object typically weighs more because it has a greater amount of mass. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and mass is the amount of matter it contains. Therefore, larger objects with more mass experience a stronger gravitational force and thus weigh more.
What is the order of types radiation from heaviest to lightest?
The order of types of radiation from heaviest to lightest is alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, making them the heaviest, while gamma rays have no mass and are the lightest form of radiation.
Which is lightest alkaline earth metal?
The lightest alkaline earth metal is Beryllium(Be) having atomic mass 9.012 dalton. The heaviest element in this family is radium.
Does an object with larger mass have a larger volume?
Not necessarily. Mass and volume are related but independent properties of an object. An object with a larger mass may or may not have a larger volume, as volume depends on the physical dimensions of the object, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in the object.
In which sequence are the items listed from least total mass to greatest total mass?
Lightest: Apple, Banana, Orange, Watermelon Heaviest: Orange, Apple, Banana, Watermelon
What is the heaviest planet to the lightest planet?
The heaviest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, while the lightest planet is Mercury. Jupiter is a gas giant with a mass greater than all the other planets combined, whereas Mercury is a small, rocky planet with a much lower mass.
Why electron is lightest subatomic particle?
Out of electrons, protons, and neutrons, neutrons are the heaviest subatomic particle, with a mass of about 1838 times that of the electron. (If you are asking about electrons, up quarks, and down quarks, then electrons still aren't the heaviest Down quarks are the heaviest, with almost 10 times the mass of an electron.)
What subatomic particle is heaviest?
Protons and neutrons are roughly 1800 times heavier then electrons.
What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?
when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.
The heaviest commonly used US coin is the half dollar which has a mass of 11.340g The lightest US coin is the dime which has a mass of 2.268g report the sum of these mas?
The sum of these two masses is 13.608g.
Does mass affect acceleration of an fallen object?
No. If there's any difference in the acceleration of different falling objects, it's the result of air resistance. If you could drop them through a space with no air, the lightest feather and the heaviest rock would have the same acceleration. It's called the acceleration of gravity, and it's 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2 on earth. Regardless of the mass of the falling object.
Is the largest planet is the heaviest?
In our solar system, the largest planet, Jupiter, is indeed also the heaviest, weighing in at about 317 times the mass of Earth. However, a larger planet isn't necessarily a heavier one - for example, Uranus is larger but less massive than Neptune.
Will the mass of an object affect its force?
Yes. The force =mass x acceleration, f=ma. The larger the mass the larger the force.
