Olivia and Ava are having a friendly debate about physics. Olivia says, "Mass is the measure of the amount of mass on an object," while Ava insists, "Weight is the measure of the gravitational force on an object." Who is correct?

Mass is the measure of the amount of mass on an object.

Weight is the measure of the amount of mass on an object.

Mass is the measure of the gravitational force on an object.

Weight is the measure of the gravitational force on an object.

Hey space explorers! Mia, Nora, and Lily are curious: How does mass change when you hop from one planet to another in our solar system?

Mass increases with distance from the sun.

Mass decreases with distance from the sun.

Mass changes based on the planet's atmosphere.

Hey there, curious minds! Imagine Avery and Henry are on a space adventure. Can you tell them what weight is based on?

The force of gravity on a mass.
