Why is the weight of the same object different on different planets?
Short Answer
Solution
The weight of an object, W, is given as

where, m = mass of the object and g = acceleration due to gravity of a place
We know that acceleration due to gravity is different on different planets. Hence, the weight of the same object differs on different planets.
