Question

Weight is a measure of force affected by gravity. The Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s gravity, so objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.

How much do you think a cat will weigh on the Moon? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

about 1.5 pounds

Explanation:

The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth, so a 9-lb cat would weigh about 9/6 = 1.5 pounds on the moon.
