Why do men weigh less on the moon?
because the moon has less mass than earth so humans weigh less on the moon than earth
Why do you weigh less when the moon is directly over your heads?
No - you do not weigh less.
Does a hammer weigh less on the moon because the moon has a smaller atmosphere?
Yes to the "weigh less" part, no to the "because" part.
If you weigh less on the moon do you have less mass?
No, you have the same mass. The reason why you weigh less is because the moon has a less gravitational pull on you since it has less mass than the earth.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
Anytime you are in a place with less gravity, you or any object will weigh less. The force of gravity on the moon is much less than on Earth.
Why does everything weigh less on the moon?
the moon's gravitational pull is far less than that of earth's
Does the Moon's mass being less than the Earth's make objects weigh less on the Moon?
Yes, that is exactly what makes you weigh less on Earth then on the Moon, though your mass hasn't changed, your apparent weight does.
Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?
You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on the Moon.
Is it true that do you weigh more on the moon than you do on earth?
No, you weigh less because the moon has less mass, or is smaller, than earth whick means that is has less of a gravitational pull.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
Why does an astronaut weigh less on the moon?
The astronaut's mass is the same on the moon but the gravitational force applied on the astronaut is weaker thus the astronaut appears to weigh less.
Where would you weigh the least on the Moon or on Venus?
On the Moon, because it has less gravity.
