Though weight is effected by gravity, mass is not affected by gravity.Actually mass is affected by gravity. Although the amount of mass is not affected by gravity, mass itself is.

gravity is directly proportional to the product of any two masses and inversly proportional to the square of distance between them.

Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?

Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.


Does the mass of an object depends on the strength of gravity?

No mass is not affected by gravity, weight is.


What is the property of matter that is not affected by gravity and is constant?

The property of matter that is not affected by gravity is mass. An object has the same mass regardless of the force of gravity, however it's weight can vary. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object.


How is gravity affected when the mass of one object decreases in the mass of the second object stays the same?

Because gravity is the sorce of how the object with less mass falls down


How do the meaning of mass and weight differ?

mass is the amount of matter in an object. mass remains unaffected by gravity. weight is a measure of a gravitational pull on n object and is there for affected by gravity.


How does the concept of mass differ from the concept of weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass remains unaffected by gravity. Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object and is therefore affected by gravity.


What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?

The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.


Why is earths gravity stronger than an apples?

Gravity is affected by the mass of an object, The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. Apples have gravity, but because they have such a small mass the gravity is tiny, whereas Earth has a huge mass which in turn means that it has a huge and noticeable gravity.


How are weight and mass affected by gravity?

Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.


Is the weight of an object not affected by gravity?

weight is defined as the product of mass and gravity constant. as the value of gravity changes weight is also changed


What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object weas taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?

Mass is not affected by gravity, so it would have the same mass. Weight, on the other hand, is affected by gravity, and would double when on the planet as compared to when it is on Earth (w=mg, where w=weight, m=mass, g=gravitational acceleration also called strength of gravity)


Why is weight not the same as mass?

For example, the same object (with the same mass) will be affected differently by Earth's gravity, and by the lesser gravity on the Moon (i.e., its weight will change).
