Why would your weight change if you landed on Mars?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. So basically it is what is inside something. Weight depends on gravity such as landing on the moon, your mass is the same no matter what, but since gravity is a lot weaker, you weigh less! Old Answer: There is less gravity to pull you down.


Explain why it is your weight and not your mass that would change if you landed on Mars?

Your weight would change, as weight is dependant upon the gravitational strength of the body that you are landing on. Your mass is essentially you as a whole it has an arbitrary value, so that weight can be calculated later on.


Have you ever land on Mars If so When?

No I have not landed on mars but I would like to go.


Why would weight and not mass change if landed on mars?

Weight changes because it depends on the gravitational pull of the planet. Since Mars has a weaker gravitational force than Earth, an object or person would weigh less on Mars than on Earth. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of the planet because it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
