Question

A person who weighs 600 newtons on Earth would weigh only 100 newtons on the Moon.

Which statement best explains why?

A.The circumference of Earth is larger than that of the Moon.

B.The density of Earth is greater than that of the Moon.

C.The mass of Earth is greater than that of the Moon.

D.The diameter of the Earth is larger than that of the Moon.
What do you think?

I will tell you if it is right or wrong.
Correct! :) good luck!
You're wrong. Mass of an object on Earth and on the Moon is the same. Mass does not change. Only the weight changes because of the different values of gravity on Earth and on the moon. I'm not sure which of the other three choices is right but it has to do something with the gravitational pull. Just definitely not C.
