Enrichment LESSON 1 Mass, Weight, and the Planets Mass and weight are concepts that are often misunderstood. It is important to remember that mass and weight are not the same thing and that size does not determine an object s mass or weight. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. A beach ball can be larger than a bowling ball, but the bowling ball has more mass because it has more matter in it than the beach ball has. Weight can be understood as a particular kind of force a force due to the attraction of gravity. The bowling ball weighs more than the beach ball because the gravitational pull on the amount of mass in the bowling ball is greater than the gravitational pull on the amount of mass in the beach ball. The same concept can be applied to your mass and weight. Your mass is the amount of matter in your body, and it remains the same wherever you go. Your weight will be the same anywhere on Earth, because the same force of gravity is pulling on it. The force of gravity on other planets, however, is different from the force on Earth, so your weight on other planets will also be different. Another difference between planets is density, which is the amount of matter in a given space, or how closely packed the material is in objects of the same size. One example of this would be the difference between how closely the Applying Critical-Thinking Skills Directions: Respond to each statement. material in a glass is packed compared to the material in a plastic foam cup of the same size. Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeter. The table lists the relative gravity and density of each of the planets in the solar system. The gravity and mass values are calculated relative to Earth, which is given a value of 1.0. Select a piece of sports gear, a backpack filled with school books, or another item you use often. Find out how much it weighs. Record it on the chart. Multiply the object s weight times the gravity at each location to calculate its weight on the planets and in outer space. Location Weight on Earth Weight Planet in Gravity Other Places Density of Planet Diameter of Planet (km) Earth 1.0 5.52 12,756 Outer 0 space Venus 0.90 5.24 12,104 Mars 0.38 6.42 6,794 Mercury 0.38 5.43 4,879 Jupiter 2.36 1.25 142,980 Saturn 0.92 0.6288 120,540 Uranus 0.89 0.922 51,120 Neptune 1.13 1.697 49,530 1.
