What else can I help you with?
Is there gravity on Ganymede and Callisto?
Yes, both Ganymede and Callisto, which are moons of Jupiter, have gravity due to their mass. However, the gravitational force on these moons is weaker than on Earth because they are much smaller and less massive.
What Weight in a gravity-less environment?
In a gravity-less environment, an object would have no weight because there is no gravity pulling it down. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, so without gravity, there is no weight.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
How would the sun's contract to a smaller volume affect the gravitational force on its surface?
It will be smaller so less gravity
Why can you jump higher on the moon?
When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity) Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.
Is there gravity on Ganymede and Callisto?
Yes, both Ganymede and Callisto, which are moons of Jupiter, have gravity due to their mass. However, the gravitational force on these moons is weaker than on Earth because they are much smaller and less massive.
Which force gives you weight?
The force of gravity. The gravity on the moon is less than on earth, and if you weighed yourself on the moon, you would weigh less.
Which would be a better colony Mars or Ganymede?
Although it would depend on your objective, Mars would generally be more suitable. Ganymede has far less gravity, far more ambient radiation (almost 8 rems a day), and is far colder.

How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?
Weight decreases as gravity decreases.
What happens to the force of gravity of the distance increases?
At greater distances, the force of gravity becomes less.
Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?
The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons
Which would be most affected by gravitational force?
which what? The bigger the force (weight) the more gravitaional force on an object. less gravity on moon than on earth
Which would be most be affected be gravitational force?
which what? The bigger the force (weight) the more gravitaional force on an object. less gravity on moon than on earth
Why would you weigh so little on Mercury?
The gravity on Mercury is less than that of the Earth, so the force going down would be less as well.
Do less massive planets have less gravitational force?
Gravity is the pull from matter. Less matter means less gravity, so yes.
