Question
the weight of an object on a planet is related to the mass of that planet- the larger the planet, the heavier the object will be. therefore, on which planet would your weight be closest to your weight on earth?
a mars
b venus
c jupiter
d mercury
Brief Explanations
Weight depends on a planet’s gravity, which is related to its mass and radius. Venus has a mass (~81.5% of Earth’s) and radius (~95% of Earth’s) that result in gravity ~90% of Earth’s—closer than Mars (~38%), Jupiter (~253%), or Mercury (~38%).
