If the mass of the Earth were to increase, your weight might go up. Or it might not, depending on how the new mass was distributed. If the diameter of the Earth also increased, then you might be enough farther away from the increased mass that your apparent weight would be the same or even go down.

In order to increase the mass of the Earth by enough to make a real difference, the Earth would need to get new mass by colliding with a large asteroid or another planet. In that case, your increased weight would be the least of your worries, since we would all be dead.

What happens to your weight if the earth gravitational pull gets 3 times stronger?

Your weight becomes three times as greater.


How does gravity affect your weight?

Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.


Why is your weight less on the moon?

Because the Earth's gravitational pull is stronger than the gravitational pull of the Moon. But your mass remains the same


About how much is the Moon's gravitational force compares to the earths?

The weight of any object on the surface of the moon is 16.55% of its weight on the surface of the Earth.


What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?

Gravitational potential energy.


How does the gravitational pull determines the body weight?

Weight is a measurement of the downward force experienced by a mass in a gravity field. The stronger the field the greater the weight.


Why do objects have weight?

Objects have weight due to the force of gravity acting upon them. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force pulling it towards the center of the Earth. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force and the heavier the object will be.


What is the measure of earths gravitational force on an object is the object?

Commonly referred to as the object's "weight".Note: The object also exerts the same identical gravitational force on the earth.Earth


What happens to liquid gas when a weight is added?

the weight wont do much but if you add a stronger gas it will sink.


Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?

No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.


Does weight change as gravitational force changes?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as the gravitational force changes (for example, by moving to a location with different gravity), the weight of an object will also change. A person will weigh less on a planet with weaker gravitational force compared to a planet with stronger gravitational force.
