Best Answer

Sara would weigh exactly the same as on Earth.

The radius of the planet does not make any difference on ones weight. The mass of the planet is the crucial factor.

Which is larger the Sun's radius or the distance between the Moon and Earth?

The sun's radius


How strong is the gravity on Gliese 581c?

If it is a rocky planet with a large iron core, Gliese 581c has a radius approximately 50% larger than that of Earth. Gravity on such a planet's surface would be approximately 2.24 times as strong as on Earth. If Gliese 581 c is an icy and/or watery planet, its radius would be less than 2 times that of Earth, even with a very large outer hydrosphere. Gravity on the surface of such an icy and/or watery planet would be at least 1.25 times as strong as on Earth.


Why is your weight different in other planet than in earth?

When you are on a planet your weight depends on how massive the planet is and how close to the center you are (planet's radius). That's because the planet is attracting you with the force of gravity and the force is larger if its mass is larger and the distance to the center is smaller. Since the different planets have different masses and different sizes the gravitational force on you will be different, so your weight will be different.


Is the radius of the moon's orbit 0.6 or 6 or 60 times larger than the radius of earth?

My teacher told me it was 60 times.


Does larger planets have more gravity than the earth?

It is more accurate to say that more massive planets have stronger gravity. If a planet had the same mass as Earth but a larger radius (i.e. it is less dense) surface gravity would be weaker, as the strength of gravity depends on both an objects mass and the distance from its center.

Is our planet larger or smaller than earth?

Earth is the name for our planet, so it would be exactly the same. The radius of earth is 3,959 miles. The mass is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. The circumference at the equator is 24,902 miles.


If on Earth Sara weighs 100 lbs and she moves to a planet that is 5 times larger in radius how much would she weigh?

This is not really a question that can be answered given the wording as it stands. A planet's radius has little or nothing to do with its MASS, which is what 'causes' gravity. For example, Jupiter is far larger than the Earth, but because its' mass is so much less (it's mostly gas, actually) scientists know that Jupiter exerts less gravity than the Earth. And if you had a planet that was smaller than the Earth, but much denser, then you would weigh more there than on the Earth.
