Earth has more gravity. The elephant's mass will hardly change if you take it to the Moon, and:weight = mass x gravity

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds it weight to be 18 N What would the package weigh on earth?

Its two kilograms. :I


What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?

The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.


Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?

The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.


What is it like on the moon and how does the lunar environment differ from Earth's?

The moon's environment is very different from Earth's. It has no atmosphere, so there is no air to breathe or protect from the sun's radiation. The surface is covered in fine dust and rocks, and the temperature can vary greatly between day and night. Gravity on the moon is much weaker than on Earth, so objects weigh less and people can jump higher. Overall, the moon is a harsh and barren place compared to the Earth's more hospitable environment.


Does an elephant has more gravitational force than a mouse?

No, the gravitational force experienced by an object is determined by its mass and the mass of the Earth, not its size. Both an elephant and a mouse feel the same gravitational pull towards the Earth.

Would an elephant weigh more or less on the moon?

An elephant would weigh less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth. The weight of an object depends on the gravitational pull acting upon it, so on the moon an elephant would experience less gravitational force and therefore weigh less.


Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?

No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.


Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?

An astronaut would weigh more on Earth than on the moon due to the stronger gravitational pull of Earth. The gravitational force on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects weigh less on the moon than on Earth.


Does a rock weigh more than a moon?

No. Any object on the moon would weigh about a sixth of what it does on Earth.


Do you way more on earth or on the moon?

You would weigh way less on the moon. For example. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 16.6 pounds on the moon.


What causes an object to weigh more on earth than the moon?

the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon


How much more is gravity on the moon than the earth?

The moon has gravity but the earth has more because living people live in the planet.


How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?

You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.


Where would you weigh the most on earth or the moon?

You would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon. This is because weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and the gravitational pull on Earth is stronger than on the Moon.


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.


Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?

You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on the Moon.


Do humans weigh the same on the Moon and the Earth?

No, humans weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less gravity. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravitational force on Earth, so a person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
