  3. WEIGHT The measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. When you step on a scale, it is actually measuring the attraction between you and the Earth and gives you a number in pounds. Does our weight change in space? YES

  4. WEIGHT Why does our weight change when we go into space? If we went from Earth to Mars, our weight would change because Mars has less gravity than Earth. Asmall planet has less gravity and a larger planet has more gravity.
