Unlike other sites, this one also provided the formula for finding your weight on every astrological object.
That's pretty interesting! I agree with Brandon Fong. The creators of this site also included the formula, which was pretty cool. Maybe this would help with designing the stuff that goes into space...
I agree with brandon. It is really cool that they provided a formula. I thought that they described it really well. It was cool how they determine mass and weight.
9660000000000 was my weight on a neutron star. thats really heavy. I want to find my weight on other planets too. Although confusing, the formula was
sorry, I forgot to finish my comment..
the formula was cool.
I thought this was pretty cool that the website could measure my weight on different planets, but the article seemed to trudge on and on. I thought the formula was pretty nice but other than that, it didn't really want to make you read on. To end this comment on a happy note. Kind of weird though. I weigh 10640000000000 pounds on a neutron star!!!!!
Aside from the fact that it is cool to find out my weight on other planets, I am very glad that they included both the formula and a short description with some history about how related topics came around. It seems like Isaac Newton was a great man of science. I think it is also good how they explain the relation between gravity and mass, and the difference between the terms "weight" and "mass" in this case. It is great to know how everyday objets work from a scientific view. Instead of just saying that I am going to weigh myself on the scale, I could say that I am measuring the force and amount of attraction between myself and the Earth. Basically, the force of attraction between me and a planet is my weight.
This is very interesting. I also liked that they put the formulas so that you know that they aren't just pulling numbers out of the blue.
I really liked this game. It provided the formula which was really cool, and it showed your weight not only on major planets, but on things like the moons of Jupiter and neutron stars. On a neutron star, I weighed 10500000000000 pounds!
This was really really cool. I like how you put in your weight and it gives you different weights. What I noticed was that the bigger the star or planet, the more you weigh! That's so funny!
Kent, that is true (because the larger the object, the larger the gravitational field). However, neutron stars are not nearly as large as our son, but they are so dense that they weigh many times the weight of our sun. Besides black holes, they are one of the heaviest things on the cosmic scale. Also, they have a solid crust of material, like certain planets.
