No, you mass does not change in different planets, but your weight does, because your mass is the amount of matter. If you got to mars, for example only the gravity will change and the amount of particles in your body.

The short answer is no.

Think about it this way 120 pounds of steel on earth weighs 120 pounds. The proper way of explaining it would be the earths gravitational pull exerts a force of 120 pounds on the mass of iron. If you took the same piece of iron to the moon it would weight 20 pounds. The proper way of explaining it would be the moon's gravitation pull exerts a force of twenty pounds on the mass of iron.

It is the same piece of iron in both cases it just weighs different amounts because the amount of gravitation force is different between the moon and and earth.

Go to another planet will your mass change?

Your mass will remain the same regardless of the planet you are on. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. So, your weight will change on a different planet due to differences in gravitational pull, but your mass will stay constant.


Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?

Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.


Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?

Gravity differs on different planets because it is determined by the mass of the planet. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull. Each planet has a unique mass and size, resulting in different levels of gravity on each planet.


Would your mass change if you traveled from planet to planet?

No your mass would not change at all if you traveled from planet to planet. Mass is the amount of space an object takes up. Since different planets have different levels of gravity pushing down on you then your weight would change but unless for any reason you lost/gained weight or grown any taller/shorter your mass would not change traveling planet to planet.


Do planets change position during each season and when do they change for each season?

Yes, planets do change position during each season. The position of planets changes due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing different planets to be visible at different times of the year. The change in position of planets varies depending on the planet and the season.

Is mass the same where you go?

an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes


How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?

Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.


Why do forces change on different planets and moons?

Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.


Does your mass change on the planets?

Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.

Why a mass of 1 kg weighs a different amount if it is taken to different planets?

Different planets have different strengths of gravity.


Why do all the planets have different fields of gravity?

Planets have different fields of gravity because their mass and size vary. The larger and more massive a planet is, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. The strength of gravity on a planet is determined by its mass and radius.

Why would you wigh differently on different planets?

Different mass means different gravity meaning your weight would change. For example divide your weight by six-that's what you would weigh on the Moon.

How is mass and weight are different?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the strength of gravity.
