Learn about gravitational pull and weight on different planets.
- Look at the first example.
- View the chart listing the different celestial objects.
- From the chart, use the numbers under "Gravitational Pull" to answer the questions.
- Remember that there are 16 ounces in one pound.
- On Earth, a basketball weighs about 1.3 pounds. How much would that basketball weigh on Neptune?
- How many ounces would that basketball weigh on Neptune? Round to the nearest whole number.
- A baseball weighs 5 ounces. How many ounces is that baseball on Jupiter?
- What would a 2,500-pound car weigh on Jupiter?
- What would a 2,500-pound car weigh on Mercury?

Today I learned about gravitational pull and weight at a Web site! I calculated how much various objects would weigh on other planets. For instance, a car that weighs 2,500 pounds on Earth would weigh pounds on Jupiter.
You can find out more about this topic by asking your teacher or parents to show you other Web sites.
