Gravity is a force that pulls object together. It is the reason we all stay on the ground instead of floating in space. Weight is the measure of how much gravity is pushing down on an object. So, if an person weighs 90 pounds, it is the measure of the gravity pushing down on you. On the contrary, mass is the measure of how much stuff or matter is in an object. It is like weighing the contents inside a box.]]> 2017-12-01 19:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arao02/8qw56wpbw8fx/wish/212417040 arao02 https://padlet.com/arao02/8qw56wpbw8fx/wish/212420859 Planets in space have different amounts of gravity. For example: on Earth, gravity is 9.8 m/s/s, but on Jupiter, gravity is 24.79 m/s/s. Hence, your weight on Jupiter will be almost three times more. If you weigh 90 pounds, on Jupiter you will weigh 227.5 pounds.]]> 2017-12-01 19:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/arao02/8qw56wpbw8fx/wish/212420859 arao02 https://padlet.com/arao02/8qw56wpbw8fx/wish/212424323 As we learned before, gravity is based on weight. But, the strength of gravity can be determined by mass. Some planets have more gravity because they have more mass. These planets are usually the larger gas giants in our solar system like Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.]]> 2017-12-01 19:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/arao02/8qw56wpbw8fx/wish/212424323
