Do you weigh the same on Earth as you do on the moon why?
The more mass a person has, the greater the pull of gravity on them. Since the Moon is smaller than Earth, it has a weaker gravitational pull. In fact, the Moon only has 1/6 the gravity that Earth does. This means you weigh six times less on the Moon than you do on Earth!
Does an object on Earth have the same mass?
The mass of an object will never change, but the weight of an item can change based on its location. For example, you may weigh 100 pounds on Earth, but in outer space you would be weightless. However, you will always have the same mass on Earth as you have in outer space.
Does your weight or mass change in space?
Mass does not change whether it is measured on Earth or the ISS. Weight can change depending upon the gravitational pull such as on the Moon where weight is reduced to one-sixth that of on Earth.
Is value of G actually constant?
The measured value of the constant is known with some certainty to four significant digits. In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2….Gravitational constant.
| Values of G | Units |
|---|---|
| 4.30091(25)×10−3 | pc⋅M⊙–1⋅(km/s)2 |
How do you calculate the G in the Moon?
The mass of the moon is 7.35×1022Kg. Thus, the value of g on moon is g=1.625 m/s2….Physics Related Topics:

Why can’t you feel the force of attraction?
Even you exert a gravitational force on other objects. Because your mass is so much less than the mass of the Earth, you can’t feel your gravitational force. When the object is the Earth, the mass is very large. The gravitational force exerted by the Earth is what we call weight.
What is the biggest and smallest planet?
It’s a real easy one too. To ensure that the list stays stuck, just think of something along the lines of “Mercury Met Venus Every Night Until Saturn Jumped.” Essentially, this indicates that the size of the planets in order from smallest to largest is Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.
Will your mass change in space?
We can measure weight here on Earth, but not in the microgravity environment on the International Space Station. Mass does not change whether it is measured on Earth or the ISS. Weight can change depending upon the gravitational pull such as on the Moon where weight is reduced to one-sixth that of on Earth.
How much do I weight in space?
This force of attraction between you and the Earth (or any other planet) is called your weight. If you are in a spaceship far between the stars and you put a scale underneath you, the scale would read zero. Your weight is zero. You are weightless.
Is the mass of an object the same on Earth?
The mass of an object is the same in all situations. An object’s mass on earth is the same on the moon or in interstellar space or on mars. Weight however, is the force experienced by an object within a gravitational field.
Is the mass of the Moon the same as the Earth?
The acceleration due to gravity on moon is different than that on the earth, so there will be an obvious difference weight measured on earth and moon. Mass represents the amount of matter a body. It will be the same, irrespective of where it is measured. No , both the masses are equal because mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.
Is the density on the Moon the same as on Earth?
Yes, it would have the same density. The volume of an object does not change no matter where it is. So on the moon the object would have the same mass and volume as it would on earth; therefore that object would have the same density. Density equals mass divided by volume. Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?
Is the gravity on the Moon the same as on Earth?
No, gravity is not the same on the moon as on earth. Because the mass of the moon is so much smaller than the mass of the earth, your weight on the moon would be about one sixth of what you weigh on earth. Would it have the same weight on earth as on the moon?
