Yes.

Because the size of the Sun is larger than the size of the Earth. This means that if you went to the Sun your mass would change due to the different pulls of gravity and the different atmospheres.

What would happen to earths gravitational attraction if the sun feel into a black hole?

If the sun abruptly was replaced with a black hole of the same mass, or if a black hole happened to wander into the solar system and consume the Sun, the Earth would respond as before with a gravitational attraction or force proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its distance. It wouldn't matter if the mass were in a black hole or in a star like the sun, no distinction would be made, so to speak. Depending on the mass of the black hole in the event in question and any momentum it contributed to the position of the Sun's mass so consumed (which total mass, again, would be preserved), the Earth's orbit and those of the other planets would be perturbed accordingly. Likely it would take a very long time for orbits to stabilize and cataclysmic effects would probably ensue if the mass and momentum change were significant, not to mention the Earth would be plunged into a perpetual night.


How many Earth masses is the Sun?

About 333,000 Earth masses would equal the mass of the sun. Additionally, 1,300,000 Earths would fit inside the Sun.


Which star has as much mass as the sun?

It would be difficult to define another star with the same mass as our Sun. Depending on your boundaries for selection criteria, and G2 star will be pretty close. Naming a star, then Alpha Centauri A would be fairly close.


Would the mass be the same in a sealed cup of water?

Yes, the mass of the sealed cup of water would remain the same as long as no water is added or removed from the cup. The mass is a measure of the amount of matter in the system, which would not change in a sealed environment.


Is the mass of a neutron star closer to the mass of the earth or the sun?

The mass of a typical neutron star is believed to be between one and three times the mass of the sun. However, in size they would be much smaller than the earth, something on the order of around ten kilometers in diameter.

What happens if you increase the mass of the Earth and decrease the mass of the Sun?

If you increase the mass of the Earth and decrease the mass of the Sun, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun would change. This could potentially alter the orbits of the planets in our solar system and have significant effects on the stability and dynamics of the entire system.


Would adding an electron to hydrogen change its mass?

no, it would change its charge not its mass.


Would your mass change if you went on a plane?

Your mass would not change if you went on a plane.


If you weigh 45 kilograms on earth you would weigh 1270 kiograms on the sun what is the mass change?

The mass of an object doesn't change when you move it to different locations. Your mass remains the same whether you are on Earth or on the Sun. What changes is your weight, which is affected by the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on.


If the sun became a black hole it would suck the planets into it.?

No. Assuming the sun's mass were compressed into a black hole, the sun would still have the same mass. The gravitational pull created by that mass would not be affected beyond the distance of the sun's present surface area.


Would your mass decrease on the sun?

No. Your mass would remain the same but your weight would increase greatly.


What happens to the orbit of earth when the mass of the sun is reduced to 75000?

If the mass of the Sun is reduced, the gravitational force it exerts on the Earth would weaken. This would cause the Earth's orbit to expand slightly, as the balance between the gravitational force and the Earth's velocity would be disrupted. However, the change would be very small given the massive size difference between the Sun and Earth.

Is mass of the Moon greater than the mass of the Sun?

If it was, the planets would revolve around the Moon and not the Sun. The mass of the Moon is: 7.3477×1022 kg The mass of the Sun is: 1.9891×1030 kg A difference of about 27 million times.


Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.


What would happend to the earth's gravitational force if the mass of sun decreases?

The mass of the sun has no effect on the portion of the local force of gravity that's due to the earth's mass.


Would your mass change on a planet?

no
