Weight On Other Planets. One easy way to calculate your weight on other planets is to multiply your weight on earth by the ratio between gravity on another planet and earth. In other words, although gravity increases linearly as objects grow more massive, it decreases exponentially as the distance between them because weight = mass x surface gravity, multiplying your weight on earth by the numbers above will give you your weight on the surface of each planet.
Then on page 3 follow the activity procedure for your students to.
Start by entering some numbers. Or, even just a few pounds on other planets! The mass of an object is a measure of how much matter it contains. Please enter your weight on earth, select planet (heavenly body) and click 'calculate'.
