What happens to your mass as you travel to a different planet Why?
As you travel away from the Earth’s surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases. “The experience of weight is through that counteracting force of the ground pushing back on you as you’re pushing down on the ground, because gravity is pulling you down.
How is your weight and mass affected on another planet?
Your weight is different on other planets because the gravity is different. You have not changed of course, so your mass is always the same. We calculate weight by multiplying mass by the gravity on the surface of the planet.
What happens to your weight when you travel to Jupiter?
If you are worried about your weight, do not go to Jupiter. The Jovian gravity is much more intense than Earth’s. 2.528 times more intense to be exact. That means if you weigh 100 kg on Earth, your weight on Jupiter would be 252.8 kg.
How does mass change on Mars?
On Mars, the weight of an object is 38\% of its weight on earth. The Mass of an object doesn’t change (except if burning, or exploding or some such is going on) but the weight is the attraction of a massive body and that does change between the Earth, Mars and the Moon.
How much would you weigh on Mars if you were 100 pounds?
38 lbs
Weight is a measure of gravity’s effect on mass. It varies based on factors like your mass, the planet’s gravity, and the distance between you and the planet’s center. If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh only 38 lbs on Mars!
Can you increase the mass of a planet?
Planets are much, much bigger than you think. The total mass of all the bodies in the main asteroid belt is about half of 1\% of Mars’s present mass. There’s no realistic way to round up enough loose matter to appreciably increase the mass of a planet.
How much do I weigh on Mars?
6.39 × 10^23 kg (0.107 M⊕)
Mars/Mass
On which planet will you be the heaviest?
Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with the most mass. Because of Jupiter’s mass, you would weigh more on that planet than on any other one in our Solar System. If you weighed 68 kg on Earth then you would weigh 160.7 kg on Jupiter, over twice your normal weight.
