Gravity on Other Planets

The strength of gravity depends on the mass and size of a planet. You would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass.

๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact

On Jupiter, you would weigh more than twice as much as you do on Earth.

All about Gravity on Other Planets

The strength of gravity depends on the mass and size of a planet. A bigger, heavier planet pulls more strongly on objects. You would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass.

On Jupiter, which is much more massive than Earth, you would weigh more than twice as much as you do on Earth. Your mass stays the same everywhere, but your weight changes with the gravity.
