Your weight on another planet depends on

• Your mass

• Your distance from the center of the planet

• The planet's mass

• None of these things

• All of these things

An astronaut on the moon will weigh almost 2.5 times more on Jupiter than on Earth. Why is that?

• The astronaut has more mass on Jupiter

• The force of gravity on the Jupiter is more than the gravity on earth

• There is no gravity on Jupiter

You will weigh _ on a smaller, less dense planet because _

• more, because the pull of gravity is stronger

• more, because the pull of gravity is weaker
