How do you weigh on the moon?

If you were to weigh yourself on a scale on Earth and then on the moon, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. To figure out how much YOU would weigh on the moon, take your weight and divide it by 6. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only about 16 pounds on the moon.

Can you breathe on the moon Why or why not?

Although the Moon does have an atmosphere, it’s very thin and composed mostly of hydrogen, neon and argon. It’s not the sort of gaseous mixture that could sustain oxygen-dependent mammals such as humans. That said, there is actually plenty of oxygen on the Moon. It just isn’t in a gaseous form.

Do things have weight in space?

There is a simple answer to your question: we don’t, because in space where there is no gravity objects weigh nothing! This means that when you are in space, away from Earth, objects do not weight anything since they do not feel gravitational attraction to the Earth.

How do they weigh things on the ISS?

Michael – Normally we do not weigh things in space and we use density and volume to estimate mass. On the ISS, I used a device called “The Body Mass Measuring Device.” It was actually built in Russia. There’s also a US device called “SLAM D” which stands for Space Linear Acceleration Mass Measurement Device.

How much does 10kg weigh on the moon?

Answer: Weight of a 10-kg object on moon is 16.33 N. Answer: Weight of a 10-kg object on moon is 16.33 N.

Does weight exist without gravity?

How do you weigh objects in space without gravity? There is a simple answer to your question: we don’t, because in space where there is no gravity objects weigh nothing! The weight of an object is a force. It is the force with which a body is attracted toward Earth or another celestial body.

Do astronauts have weight?

In space, astronauts and their spaceship still have mass and are still acted upon by Earth’s gravity. In this sense, they still have weight, even though Earth’s gravitational force is smaller in orbit than it is on Earth’s surface (Box 1). However, they do not feel their weight because nothing is pushing back on them.

How to calculate your weight on the Moon?

Being that it takes the weight of an object on earth and converts it to lunar weight, the formula is Weight on the Moon= (Weight on Earth/9.81m/s2) * 1.622m/s2. To find the weight on the moon, we divide the weight on earth by the earth’s force of gravity, which is 9.81m/s 2. This calculates the mass of the object.

What is the formula for weight on the Moon?

This calculates the weight on the moon from the weight of the object on earth. Being that it takes the weight of an object on earth and converts it to lunar weight, the formula is Weight on the Moon= (Weight on Earth/9.81m/s2) * 1.622m/s2.

Would your weight change on the Moon?

No matter if you are on Earth, the moon or just chilling in space, your mass does not change. But your weight depends on the gravity force; you would weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in space you would weigh almost nothing at all. Where ever you are, your mass will always stay the same.

What is the mass of a person on the Moon?

Mass remains constant, so if a person with a mass of 75kg is taken from earth to the Moon, they will still have a mass of 75 kg.
