The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 10 to the 22 kg. But the Earth is much more massive. The mass of the Earth is 5.97x 10 to the 24 kg. The Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth. As a comparison you would need 81 Moon masses to match the mass of the Earth.

Even though the sun has a greater mass than earth the moon orbits earth because it's what to earth then to the sun?

It is closer


Why does the density of Saturn is much less than earth's even though it is much bigger in size?

Saturn is a planet made out of mostly gas. As gas has little mass, it is less dense than Earth. Remember that density is proportional to its mass and surface area.


Why does our weight change as we move from earth's surface to the moon's?

Because weight is determined by gravitational pull on your mass. The Moon has less gravitational pull than earth so you will weigh less, even though your mass remains the same.


Is your weight the same on earth as it is on the moon?

No. You are lighter on the moon than on earth, though your mass remains unchanged.


Would person weigh more or less on the moon?

The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, and its Mass is much less. Thus the pull of gravity is much less on the Moon.Therefore, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth, even though your Mass would be the same.


Why is the weight of an object different on earth and the moon even though the objects mass is the same in both places?

Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)

Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?

No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.


Is Venus's gravity stronger then earth's gravity?

No. Venus has less mass than Earth, though not by very much. As a result, gravity on Venus is slightly weaker than on Earth.


Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?

No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.


Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?

The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
