Why would you weigh less on Pluto?

Answer 1

The force of gravity is based on the mass of an object, and weight is a measurement of the effect of gravity. Because the Moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, a person would weigh less on the Moon.

The gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1/6th of what the Earth's gravity is. So an astronaut would only weigh 1/6 of his Earth weight. This allowed the Apollo astronauts, even in heavy spacesuits, to jog about easily on the lunar surface.

Answer 2

The reason that you would way so little on Pluto is because there would be less gravity pushing down on you than on earth, which would make you lighter. Although your mass would stay the same.

Answer 3

You would weigh less on Pluto because it has lower gravity than Earth due to its smaller size and mass. This means that the gravitational pull on your body would be weaker, resulting in a lower weight measurement.

Answer 4

Because there is less gravity to pull downon you.

Answer 5

Pluto has a much lower gravitational pull than the Earth does.
