The weight of an object is the product of its mass (M) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). We represent this product as mass, m times (x) acceleration (g) = mg.

On the moon, (g) is less than that on the earth. Hence every object on the moon will have a lower or smaller weight when compared with its weight on the earth.

The quantity of matter in both locations will be the same, but the product or weight will be different. This is taught in physics and experienced by astronauts. That is why astronauts can move around and carry weights with less hindrance. A man on the moon could, (except for the strings and tubes that hold him) run faster on the moon when compared with his speed on earth if he has as much oxygen to breath.

Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?

yes


If a person weight 100 pound in Earth how will he weight in Saturn?

The person's weight on Saturn would be different than on Earth because gravitational pull varies depending on the planet. On Saturn, the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so the person would weigh less. The exact weight would depend on Saturn's specific gravitational force.


What is the the weight of a person on venus that is one hundred pounds on earth?

A person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh approximately 91 pounds on Venus. Venus has a similar size and composition to Earth, so the gravitational pull on its surface is about 91% of Earth's gravity.


What is the weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars?

The weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars would be less than on Earth due to Mars having lower gravity. Mars has about 38% of Earth's gravity, so a space probe that weighs 1000 lbs on Earth would only weigh about 380 lbs on the surface of Mars.


What is your weight for each planet considering the surface gravity?

Based on surface gravity, your weight on each planet would be: Mercury: 38% of your weight on Earth Venus: 91% of your weight on Earth Mars: 38% of your weight on Earth Jupiter: 236% of your weight on Earth Saturn: 113% of your weight on Earth Uranus: 92% of your weight on Earth Neptune: 113% of your weight on Earth These values are approximate and assume a similar mass and body composition.

What would a 100 pound person weigh on earth surface?

Well it depends on where this person was weighed. If they were weighed on Earth, then they would be 100 pounds.


What do you do to find your weight on other planets?

To find your weight on other planets, you would multiply your weight on Earth by the planet's surface gravity relative to Earth's surface gravity. For example, your weight on Mars would be your weight on Earth multiplied by 0.38, as Mars' surface gravity is 0.38 times that of Earth.


How much will a 100 pounds person weigh on Uranus?

On Uranus, a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh approximately 89 pounds. This is due to the lower surface gravity on Uranus compared to Earth. The surface gravity on Uranus is about 0.89 times that of Earth, so a person's weight would be reduced accordingly.


How much would 100kg person weigh on venus?

The person would be about 89 kilograms in weight. The person would still have a mass of 100 kilograms, of course. The strict scientific unit of weight is the "newton" because that is the unit of force and weight exerts a force. The 100 kg person weighs 890 newtons on Venus. However, normally we say "kilograms" or "kilograms weight", as long as we are clear that weight and mass are different.


How much would a lbs person weigh on mars?

The answer depends on the person's weight on Earth but each pound's weight on Earth would be equivalent to 0.376 pound's weight on Mars.


Would the density of a person be the same on the surface of earth and on the surface on the moon?

yes


What is the force of gravity on a person of object at the surface of the earth?

That's the force we usually call the "weight" of the person or object.


What would a 150 pound person weigh on venus?

A 150 pound person would weigh 179 pounds on Neptune. The surface gravity on Neptune is 119% of Earth's surface gravity.
