My Weight on Other WorldsThe WEIGHT of an object is the measure of the force of gravity on that object. Since different plan-ets have different masses and therefore different gravitational forces, your weight changes depending on where you go.

MASS is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. Your mass stays the same no matter which planet you stand on.

on the MoonGRAVITY is a force of attrac-tion between objects; it is what holds us down on Earth. More massive planets have stronger gravity.

Jupiter and Neptune are gas giants, so there isn’t a solid surface to stand on. They still have gravity which can pull you in, though!
