Asked by Sophea
On Earth, when you pick up a bowling ball from the ground it feels very heavy and takes a lot of force to lift it. However on the moon the bowling ball feels lighter and easier to pick up. Why does a bowling ball feel easier to pick up on the moon than on Earth(1 point)

The weight of the bowling ball is less on the moon than on Earth.
Reason: Mass stays the same, but weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of Earth's, so the ball weighs less there and is easier to lift.
