No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity.

On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity).

On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.

If oranges weigh 16.7 newtons on earth what would their weight change be on the moon?

on the moon it will weigh roughly 1/6 the amount of newtons as it does on earth. So 16.7 on earth would be about 2.8 newtons on the moon.


What would an object that is 1 newtons on earth be on the moon?

One Newton on Earth is about 0.1653 newtons on the moon.


Does everything has less mass on the moon?

Your mass (kilograms) would stay the same as it never changes. But if you are talking about weight (newtons) it would depend on what you were comparing it to. If you have a weight of 300 newtons on earth then you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon therefore you would have lost weight. Whereas if you weighed 20.1 Newtons on Pluto you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon, loosing weight.


What is weight in kg on the moon if you weigh 545 newtons?

If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg


If a space colonist weighs 800.15 newtons on earth what would the colonist weigh on the moon?

The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth. Therefore, the colonist would weigh 800.15 newtons / 6 ≈ 133.36 newtons on the moon.


How much would 10 newtons be on the moon?

On the moon, the force exerted by 10 newtons would be approximately 1.63 newtons, because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means that objects will weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.


What is the mass of a person on moon if its mass on earth is 490 newtons?

Mass is a characteristic of the person or object. It stays with him/it and doesn't change no matter where he/it goes. "Newtons" is not a measurement of mass. It's a measurement of force, and it could represent the person's weight. If the person weighs 490 newtons on Earth, then his mass is about 50 kilograms anywhere, and he would weigh about 81 newtons on the moon.


Would you weigh more on earth than on the moon?

Yes. Your 'weight' would change, (in Newtons) but your 'mass' (in pounds, kilos, grams, tonnes, ounces etc) would not.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!


What would be the weight of a 10 kg object on the Moon and on Earth?

On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)


What would the weight of a g object be on the moon?

It would be g/6 newtons.


What is your weight on the moon if you weigh 330 newtons?

If that is your eath weight then you weigh 54.6-non the moon,about 124.9-n on Mars, and about 834.2-n on Jupiter.
