What is the weight of the earth and the weight of the moon?
478241
Earth does not have a weight, as weight is the expression of a force (such as gravity) on an object.\nEarth's Mass is 5.9742×10^24 kg\nEarth's Moon's Mass is 7.347673×10^22 kg or 0.0123 Earths

The force of attraction between moon and earth is 2.3 x 10^ 20 newton (very strong);\n\n between earth and a molecule of oxygen~ 5x 10^ (-25) newton (weaker);\n\n between two oxygen molecules touching each other ~2x10^ (-42) newton; (weakest).\n\nThe electrical attraction between a hydrogen atom’s nucleus and its single electron is 9x 10^ (-8) newton, whereas the gravitational attraction is only 4x10^ (-47) newton.\n\nThe force of gravitation is negligible only in the case of interaction between elementary particles. \n\nONLY WHEN IFTERACTION BETWEEN ELEMENTARY PARTICLES ARE CONSIERED GRAVITATIONAL FORCES ARE WEEK.\n\nHence it is not correct to call gravitational force as week force.\n\nThe force of attraction between moon and earth is 2.3 x 10^ 20 newton (very strong);

Every physical object has mass, even in space.  You might be refering to weight, which is a whole differnet story.  Outside the pull of the eath's gravity you will have no weight, but you will still have mass.  Your weight is determined by gravity/acceleration, on the moon you will weigh 1/6th what you weigh on earth.  In space you will weigh 0 but you will still have the same mass in all three situations.  Mass is the amount of stuff you, and everything else, is made of.  Weight is relative to where and how you weigh.

Potential is measure by mass x gravity x height. Since the force of gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the earth, the potential on the moon compared to that of the earth would be: mass x (1/6)gravity x height.

There is a detailed (perhaps too detailed) explanation at the following location:\nhttp://www.france-property-and-information.com/metric-system-and-history.htm\n\nYou will also find at this location several pages which will discuss other aspects of your question.\n\nIn terms of capacity, the metric system and the USA/Imperial systems simply use different units. The situation is a bit more complex for weight/mass. \n\nWeight is how much something ways, whereas mass is the amount of matter. We say that a kilogram (mass) is equal to 2.2 pounds (weight). However, this is true (roughly) only on Earth. For example, something that is 100kg. (220 pounds) on Earth would still be 100 kg. on the moon but only about 37 pounds on the moon. That is because mass is constant whereas weight depends on gravity. For most of this, the distinction is unimportant as we all live and work on the earth. However, scientific purposes (e.g. space travel) weight and mass are very different.

The garden mole weighs about 250 grams. Multiply by Avogadros number 6x10^23 to get 1.5x10^23 kg. The mass of the earth is 6x10^24 kg.\n\nA mole of moles is therefore only 2.5% of the mass of the earth.

K so...I haven't done any Grav froces recently...but I'll try\n\nIm guessing use  Net force = ma\nThe net force is the Gravitational force, Gm1m2 / r^2 is = m2 4 (pie)^2 r/ T^2\n\nfor the 4 (pie)^2 r/ T^2    r is the distance form the planet's center, to the moon, for T, find how many second 40 days is.\n\nand the other r is the planet's radius\n\nm2 cancels\n\nsolve for m1, and yo uhave the mass of the planet.\n\nI guess plug in numbers after that, into the equaltion Fg = Gm1 m2  /  r^2\n\nm2 would be the 70 kg\n\nhope thats right

The Rate of change of momentum of a body is equal to the resultant force acting on the body, and takes place in the direction of the force.\n\nMomentum = mass * velocity\n\nThe masses are the same on Earth and the moon.\n\nMomentum would be equal!

The mass of the Earth is roughly 5.9742 E24 kilograms.\n\nWhy the need for such an accurate number?

To answer the question asked:  It depends on neither.\n\nWeight is a factor of the amount of mass in a gravity field.  \n\nOn earth, the gravity field is uniform enough for weight to be a good measure of mass.  But take your 5 pound rock to the moon and it would weigh much less even though it still has the same mass.  It weighs less because the pull of gravity on the moon is less.  As the pull is what gives the rock its acceleration when dropped, it is only the pull that determines how fast something drops. \n\nThe last mission to the moon did the classical experiment of dropping a hammer and a feather at the same time.  Since there is no air on the moon they both dropped at the same rate.  But it was a rate that was much slower had the hammer been dropped on earth.\n\nSo it isn't the mass, nor an objects weight, but how strong the gravity field the object is in when it is dropped.\n\nThat means on earth all things fall at the same rate.  We see a difference when we drop a feather and a hammer on earth because of the friction of the air places greater drag on the feather than on the hammer.\n\nBut they are both pulled down at the same rate by the gravity of the earth.

Yes. For two reasons:\n1- Gravity and the causes between earth and moon\n2- Subconscious of people who are influenced under articles, news and stories about this issue! Which I think is stronger than the gravity of moon!

Weight is the amount of force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in that object

Moon.\n\nOn the moon there is less gravity so you would feel lighter and it would take less effort for your muscles to work.

No. On the moon, you would "weigh" about 1/6 what you do on earth.  Although that's a much lower number, it's still not close enough to zero that you could escape the moon's gravitational pull simply by jumping.

Your question is very awkwardly worded. I assume you're talking about mass, not weight. Mass is the amount of matter in something. Weight is force that gravity "pulls" on it. With the same object, mass is always constant. Weight changes if you're on the moon, or in outer space.\n\nAs for its gravity, do you mean the Earth's pull on it, or the gravity field the object projects? If it's the former, then yes. That's how weight is defined. All things fall at the same rate, however. As for the latter, then, yes, the mass of an object dictates how big the gravity field around it is. The Sun projects a huge gravitational well, while a penny projects next to nothing.

Ok, let's set this straight. Weight is a measure of the force exerted on an object by a gravitational field. It is measured in NEWTONS. Most people are getting this mixed up with mass, which can be measured in metric tons and doesn't change from one gravitational field to another. The weight of the lead on the moon is only 166 Newtons.
