The pull of gravity is less on the Moon because the Moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth. This is because it has a smaller mass.

No planet in the Solar System has a mass less than that of the Moon, hence no planet has a weaker gravitational field. So there is no planet you could be on where you would weigh less than if you were on the Moon. (Does that make sense?)
However there are moons of other planets which are smaller than the Moon and some which are larger. Jupiter's largest moons Ganymede, Callisto and Io as well as Saturn's largest moon Titan are all bigger than the Moon. Europa (another moon of Jupiter) Neptune's moon Triton and The Dwarf Planet Pluto are all smaller than the Moon.

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 do you weigh more in one planet then in another?

You have the same mass anywhere, but you weigh more or less on a planet depending on the gravitaional pull of the planet. The more gravitational pull, the more you weigh. The gravitational pull depends on the size of the planet. The bigger the planet, the more gravitaional pull.


On what planet would 1 kg weigh 26 newtons?

On a planet with a surface gravity of approximately 2.65 m/s^2, which is around 0.27 times that of Earth's gravity. This can be calculated using the formula weight (in newtons) = mass (in kg) x acceleration due to gravity (in m/s^2).


What is a planet with a gravity force of 2.54 times that of earth?

A planet with a gravity force of 2.54 times that of Earth would have a significantly stronger gravitational pull, affecting various aspects of life and physical processes. For example, objects on this planet would weigh 2.54 times more than they do on Earth, making movement and activities more strenuous. Additionally, the planet's atmosphere, surface conditions, and potential for supporting life would be drastically different due to the increased gravity. Such a planet's characteristics would likely lead to unique geological and biological adaptations.

Planet with a force of gravity 2.54 times that of earth?

An example of a planet with a gravity 2.54 times that of Earth is Venus. Venus has a surface gravity of 0.91 g, where 1 g is the gravitational force on Earth. This higher gravity on Venus means objects would weigh 2.54 times more than on Earth.


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.


How much would a 100 lb person weigh on a planet twice the mass of earth?

That would depend on the planet's radius. The strength of gravity depends on both the mass of the object in question and the distance from its center of mass. If the planet in question had the same radius as Earth, then the person would weigh 200 lbs as gravity would be twice as strong. If the planet had the same density as Earth it would have 1.26 times Earth's radius and gravity would be 1.26 times as strong and the person would weigh 126 lbs. If the planet had about 1.41 times Earth's radius then that person's would weight 100 lbs.


Which planet would you weigh the most?

Jupiter, as it has the most gravity.


How much would an object with a mass of 5 kg weigh on Planet A?

Well you would need to know the force of Gravity on the surface of Planet A to answer this. The equation to use would be 5 multiplied by the force of gravity on Planet A = the weight in kilograms. So if Gravity on planet A was twice that on Earth then it would weigh 10Kg and if it was 1/2 that on Earth it would weigh 2.5 kg.


Why is the gravity stong here but not on the moon?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on both of their masses.So if the same person goes to two different planets, he will weigh more onthe planet with more mass, and he'll weigh less on the planet with less mass.The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has.And if you think gravity is strong on Earth . . . it's about 2.7 times as strongon Jupiter, and almost 28 times as strong on the sun.


What effect does surface gravity have on things on a planet?

It makes something weigh more or weigh less. Also it makes something stay in the planet's atmosphere.

What is the force of gravity at the surface of the fourth planet?

Not much, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 37.7lbs on Mars.


Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or a terrestrial planet?

It depends but in most cases you would weigh more on a gas planet. While the gas planets have a far greater mass than the terrestrial planets, they also have much larger radii. The strength of the surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. Three of the four gas planets in the solar system have stronger surface gravity than any of the terrestrial planets. Uranus is the exception. Uranus is about 4 times the radius of Earth and 14.5 times Earth's mass, which gives Uranus a surface gravity 88.6% that of Earth. So you would weigh less on the gas planet Uranus than you would on Earth or Venus, which are terrestrial planets.
