Gravity

gravity spreadsheet

Gravity is different on different planets and Moons in the Solar System.

You can use a spreadsheet to calculate how your weight would change on different planets.

Lay out your spreadsheet so that it looks like the one in the diagram.

Your weight on Mercury (cell D4) can be worked by multiplying your weight on Earth (cell B4) by the gravity compared to earth (cell C4).


Enter the formula =B4 * C4 into cell D4 as shown in the diagram.

Copy the formula into the other cells in column D to calculate your weight on the other planets.
