Consider an astronaut that has a mass of 70.0 kilograms (154 lbs) who is traveling to space. At the moment of blast-off the weight of the astonaut is also 70.0 kilograms. As his distance from earth increases and the rocket turns into an orbiting course, the gravitaional pull on the astronaut's body decreases until a state of weightlessness ( 0 lbs). However, the mass stays the same because it's independent to both locations and unvarying quantity.
Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Also, anything not big enough to qualify for the definition "planet", or which is a satellite of some body other than the Sun, has a lower surface gravity than Earth. Saturn's "surface gravity" is only slightly higher than Earth (10.4 m/s2 vs. 9.8 m/s2, about 6.5% more) but it ishigher and Saturn doesn't have a solid surface to stand on anyway; if you're in free fall you're not going to "weigh" anything.
because the gravitational pull is different than earth.
That would be true on Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto, as well as on every moon
of any planet, and on any comet or asteroid in the Solar System.
It would move at lot less. Thereby showing you to be of a lesser weight. This is because the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is a lot less than that on the Earth.
The dwarf planet Eris truly deserves its designation as "dwarf planet"; it is less than one quarter of Earth's diameter, and about one percent of Earth's mass.
Because the Earth has a huge amount of mass, despite the distance between you and most of it. _____ Anything with mass (matter particles) exerts a force of attraction called gravity upon all other matter. The strength of this force is proportional to mass, and inversely proportional to the distance between objects. This basically means that more mass equals stronger gravity, but greater distance means weaker gravity. At surface level, all the mass of the Earth is exerting a gravitational force upon you. The mass directly beneath your feet is exerting the greatest force, while mass from the opposite side of the planet is exerting a lesser force because it is more distant. The total force exerted upon you is equivalent to 1G, and this results in your current weight. Under the influence of a greater gravitational force, your weight would be greater despite the fact that you have not increased in mass. Likewise, if gravity was weaker, you would weigh less. If the Earth was smaller but the same mass (i.e.- more dense) and you stood upon its surface, you would be heavier because you would be closer to the centre of the Earth's mass. Likewise, if the Earth was larger but the same mass (i.e.- less dense), you would weigh less at its surface because you would be further from the centre of mass. However, if you were to literally journey to the centre of the Earth so that all the mass of the Earth surrounds you, you would effectively feel weightless.
There is much less gravity on the moon than on Earth. Gravity is approximately 1/5 of that on Earth so if you weigh 150lbs on Earth you would only weigh 30lbs on the Moon. Your muscles would still have the same strength but they would only have 30lbs to make move. You would of course need to wear a space suit which would increase your total weight. There seems to be a lot of 'evidence' that the moon landings were faked in a film studio. Check it out on You Tube and judge for yourself. VERY INTERESTING !! I didnt find anything to show how high they jumped but there are clips that suggest a jump of around 1 foot - which isn't very impressive !!!
Because of how the earth is tilted. In the western hemisphere in the winter season, the earth is tilted further away from the sun in comparison to the eastern hemisphere because of how the earth sits on its axis. When it is tilted further away from the sun in this point in the revolution, it will recieve less light because of its angle.
This question is harder than it might seem. The answer is: You would weigh less on both Venus and Mars. You would weigh more on Jupiter. As regards Saturn, you could weigh more or less depending where on the planet you were. For example, at Saturn's equator the effect of the planet's rotation would be enough to reduce your effective weight to less than your Earth weight.
Venus.
About 10% less than you do on Earth.
Your weight depends on the gravity, and Mars, being a smaller/lighter planet has less gravitational pull than the earth.
you would weigh the least on mars. (take in account Pluto is not a planet any more)
About 2 times less, so if you weigh 50 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 18(mars is a bit less massive than half the size of earth) on Mars.
Mars is a smaller planet than Earth. Your weight is the product of two masses yours and the planets Your mass stays the same wherever you are, if you stand on a smaller planet, you weigh less.
By a very slim margin you would weigh the least on Mercury, where gravity is 37% the strength of it is on Earth. This is only a tiny bit less than the gravity of Mars, which is 37.11% of Earth's gravity.
Slightly less. If you weighed 200 kg on Earth, you would only weigh 181.5 kg on Venus. See link for planet weight comparison.
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.
Mars is a smaller planet so the gravity is lower so you would have less pull on your mass so you would weigh less. weight is the measure of gravitational pull on an object.
The planet Mars is smaller than Earth and has a weaker gravitational field. As a result, people on Mars would weigh less than they do on Earth.
