Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.

12.... age doesnt change on other planets, nor does mass.


Is mass the same where you go?

an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes


How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?

Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.


Why do forces change on different planets and moons?

Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.


Does your mass change on the planets?

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


Go to another planet will your mass change?

Your mass will remain the same regardless of the planet you are on. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. So, your weight will change on a different planet due to differences in gravitational pull, but your mass will stay constant.


Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?

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


Why a mass of 1 kg weighs a different amount if it is taken to different planets?

Different planets have different strengths of gravity.


Why do all the planets have different fields of gravity?

Planets have different fields of gravity because their mass and size vary. The larger and more massive a planet is, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. The strength of gravity on a planet is determined by its mass and radius.


Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?

Gravity differs on different planets because it is determined by the mass of the planet. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull. Each planet has a unique mass and size, resulting in different levels of gravity on each planet.


What doesnt change on an object when gravitational force changes?

mass


Does the earth gain mass by photosynthesis?

no it doesnt gain mass at allIt can change the bio mass. But cannot change the mass of earth as it uses resources within earth
