Your weight can appear to change due to factors such as water retention, muscle gain or loss, or fluctuations in your body's composition. Gravity on Earth remains constant, so any perceived changes in weight are usually temporary and not related to the force of gravity itself.

Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?

Weight can appear to change due to different factors like water retention, muscle gain or loss, and food consumption. Gravity remains constant on Earth, so fluctuations in weight are often due to variations in these factors rather than changes in gravitational pull.


Do rocks have gravity?

No, rocks do not have gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, including rocks. Rocks are subject to the force of gravity, just like any other object on Earth.


Does the force of gravity change an object's mass?

No, the mass of the object is the same, no matter what gravitational forces (if any) are affecting it. The weight changes, though, because weight is defined as the force of gravity on an object. Thus, if you are in zero gravity, you have zero weight but not zero mass.


What is gravity of Jupiter compared to the earth?

Since Jupiter has 317 times the mass of Earth, its gravitational attraction at any given distance is also 317 times greater. On the other hand, the surface gravity (please note that Jupiter doesn't have a proper "surface", though) is approximately 2.5 times that of Earth.


How is gravity affected by mass?

The greater the gravity, the greater the weight, even though the mass does not physically change. The stronger pull makes it heavier. The mass of something can never change - weight only describes the mass of something under the pull of gravity while mass is constant no matter where.

Why does weight on an elevator change though you don't leave earths gravity?

If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.


Which natural process can change the earths surface though glaciers wind and flooding?

Mudslides


Does gravity make you fat?

Not really. Eating a high fat diet and not exercising will. Our bodies are suited to Earths gravity, maybe if there was more gravity, we would be shorter and more of a stocky shape. If the gravity was less, then we could get away with being a lot taller. This is more down to the effort required to lift ourselves though and the effort required by the heart to pump blood etc. The higher the gravity the more effort. Our shape wouldn't really change if we visited such planets, but the inhabitants there may have developed different shapes that are related to the strength of gravity.


What are effects of gravity?

Gravity causes older people to shrink. Answer Had to chuckle at the first answer though it is not true. Gravity is that force , said to originate from the center of the earth, which affects everything within its influence by attracting it to the earths center. Luckily we have a hard mantle beneath our feet that prevents this from happening.

What should philosophers study to help them understand how things can persist through time even though they appear to change?

identity and change =))


Does gravity repair the universe?

yes, the gravity is the only major force to regulate the shape and integrity of universe, whenever a slight change in unverse even though negligible like supernova explosion, the gravity does the repair and nutralise.


As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?

As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.


What is a land change?

Land formations can change at any time. They are caused by movements in the Earths tectonic plates. Landforms can go from a flat plain to a rough hilly area. It does though take time but can happen.


Can you change were you die to on runescape?

There are one or two quest's which allow you to change where you appear after death, though there arn't many. I know at least one which let's you revive at Falador.


Why do earth and the moon remain in their orbits?

(simplified) Gravitational force of attraction is balanced by centripital force due to earths velocity. (G*m1*m2) / r2 = m2 * (v2 / r) m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass r = earth - sun distance v = earths orbital velocity G = newtons gravitational constant
