Why do you weigh less when the moon is directly over your heads?
No - you do not weigh less.
Do you weigh more on land than you would on a mountain?
-- First of all, I always had the impression that mountains are on land, at least those that you can stand on. Be that as it may, however . . . -- Technically, you would weigh slightly less on a mountaintop than you do when you're on the flats, because on the mountain, you're farther from the Earth's effective center of mass. But you'd need some pretty good equipment to measure it. I worked it out once for a person on an airliner cruising at 35,000 feet ... roughly a mile higher than the highest mountaintop on Earth. Compared to his weight at sea level, he weighs about 0.33 percent less when he's up at 35,000 feet. For a 200-pound man, that's a difference of about 10.6 ounces.
How much do airplane engines weigh?
Most people are surprised how much airplanes weigh, and engines too. Reciprocating engines typically weigh 1 pound per HP. Big jet engines weigh 0.2 pounds per HP or so and they typically weigh from one ton to several tons. Here a simulator for designing your own engine: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/ngnsim.htm

How many grams can a paper airplane hold?
A little bit less than a train made out of paper, but way more than a boat made out of paper. Of course, the size of the airplane wasn't stated in the question. If it was a really, really BIG paper airplane, it could weigh more than a teeny-tiny paper train. Although, if it was a tiny paper airplane it could weigh less than a HUGE paper boat. I'm pretty sure it would also depend on what kind of paper you use. A construction paper airplane would definitely weigh more than a tissue paper airplane. But one of those airplanes made out of copier paper would weigh about average. I wouldn't reccommend a toilet paper airplane. It would also depend on what kind of plane you were making out of paper. A 747 made out of tar paper is going to completely outweigh a Cessna made out of freezer paper. All in all, I would have to say a medium sized airplane made out of a mid-gauge paper would weigh in at around 3,982 kilograms.
