Because earth is a larger planet than the moon, it has a stronger gravity.
Bigger the planet > Stronger the gravity.
That is the rule. Since our moon is a much smaller planet, it has weak gravity, and so the object is not being pulled down as hard, so it reduces the overall mass.
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because of the gravity.
Because of the gravity.
Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity. The weight of an object varies based on the strength of the gravitational pull, which is weaker on the moon compared to Earth. Therefore, an object will weigh less on the moon than on Earth.
The difference in weight of an object on Earth and on the Moon is due to gravity. Earth has a stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon, which makes objects weigh more on Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the larger mass of Earth compared to the Moon results in a stronger gravitational pull on Earth.
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
The weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon would be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the gravitational pull on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's gravity.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
