Your Weight on Other Worlds

Your Weight on Other Worlds

Gravity relentlessly pulls us toward Earth's surface. Everything we do requires us to expend energy, and much of that energy goes toward our struggle against gravity. Despite the powerful force that gravity exerts, we take it for granted precisely because of its constancy. This interactive resource allows students to enter their weights and see how much they would weigh on the Moon, the other seven planets, and several other astronomical objects.
