A spring scale would not. But a balance scale, which compares two masses, would
compare them accurately in any place with significant gravity, no matter the size of
the local gravity.
yes,but the the number marked on each reference-weight has to be 0.1633 . Calvin Massey
For two point masses of equal mass, the center of gravity is the center of mass and is located midway between the two point masses.
The same factors that determine the force of gravity between ANY objects. (1) The masses involved, (2) the distance between the masses.
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.

in a gravity field it can find 2 equal masses

It would work properly, although it would be very inaccurate. No matter how much gravity there is, an object's mass stays the same. A balance takes the weight of an object on the surface of Earth and, with the counterweights, balances it out with an approximate mass. If you wanted a balance to work on the moon, you would need to relabel the balance.
It is masses that cause gravity in the first place.
Gravity is only affected by masses, and by how far you are from those masses.
The variables of gravity are mass and radius- the distance from the center masses of the two masses considered for attraction.
It doesn't work like that. Gravity affects MASSES.
The Law of Gravity
Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.
The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia. The basic unit, however, is the mass.Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia.
