Question

the weight of an object on a planet is related to the mass of that planet- the larger the planet, the heavier the object will be. therefore, on which planet would your weight be closest to your weight on earth?
a mars
b venus
c mercury
d jupiter

Explanation:

To determine on which planet the weight is closest to Earth's, we consider the relationship between a planet's mass (and thus gravitational pull) and weight. Venus has a mass and gravitational acceleration (≈8.87 m/s²) very close to Earth's (≈9.81 m/s²). Mars (≈3.71 m/s²), Mercury (≈3.70 m/s²) have much lower gravity, and Jupiter (≈24.79 m/s²) has much higher gravity. So Venus's gravity (and thus the weight it imparts) is closest to Earth's.

Answer:

b. Venus
