What is your weight?
Embedded Files
1 – Step onto a scale.
2 – Watch what happens on the screen.
3 – Try other scales. What can you conclude?
Most of us have dreamed of visiting space and other celestial objects, wondering what it would be like... But one thing is certain! Our weight would be different due to several factors, such as the planet’s mass and our distance from its center.
Our mass is the amount of matter contained in us. It stays the same no matter where we are, but our weight does not. Weight is the force of gravity acting on our mass.
Since the force of gravity depends on the density and size of the celestial body, as well as the distance from its center, our weight varies from planet to planet or other celestial objects.
