GRAVITY

Hello, guys today I will be sharing facts and some questions about gravity. For science, we have been working on different topics every week, this week is gravity involved questions and activities. Gravity is the force keeping us on the ground instead of us floating like we would be in space. 

QUESTIONS: 

Is gravity the same on all planets? No because of it alters in size and mass of the planet, for example, Jupiter has the most gravity in the solar system and Mercury is the smallest planet and the closest to the Sun it has less gravity in the solar system.

How is gravity related to mass? More mass means more gravity Mercury as I said before has less amount of mass so that means it has less gravity in the solar system.  

Which planet would you weigh the most on and the less? Again if you were on Jupiter you would weigh more and if you were on Mercury you would weigh less. It all depends on the mass. 

How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with higher gravity or lower gravity? It would be hard to live on planets like Jupiter because you would be pushed down by the less amount of gravity. But if you lived on a planet like Mercury it would still be harder because you would probably be floating around.

Bonus Question: Why do things float on water, shouldn't gravity pull it down? For Example, let's use a boat at the bottom of the boat it is filled with air and let's say that we could make a boat out of the water the boat would float because the water is denser.      

Bonus Question: What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass: If you have more protons, neutrons and electrons in an object this would be measured by mass. Weight: If you consider an object interacting with Earth, this force is called the weight.
