What Is the Difference Between Weight and Mass in Gravity?
š” The Answer
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains constant everywhere.
- Weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, varying with gravitational field.
- On the Moon, a person weighs about one-sixth their Earth weight but mass stays same.
- In deep space, weight becomes negligible but mass and inertia remain unchanged.
