two objects of the mass are on two different planets. planet a has force of gravity that is weaker than that of planet b. how will the weights of the objects compare to each other ?

The object will weigh less on planet a than b because the pull of gravity isn’t as strong

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is defined as the force that the gravity exerts on an object due to its mass. So higher the gravity higher the weight and lower the gravity lower the weight. The object on planet 'a' that has a force of gravity that is weaker than that of the planet 'b' will have less weight than the object on planet 'b'.
