 Mass- the amount of atoms inside an object ◦ Mass does not change!  Weight- the pull of gravity on the mass of an object ◦ Weight changes depending.

Gravity 1.Gravity requires air/atmosphere. 2.The strength of a gravitational force depends on the mass of objects. 3.ALL objects in the Universe attract.

What’s the difference? MASS AND WEIGHT. MASS The quantity of matter in an object Always constant Can never be zero Measured with a balance Unit: grams.

What is gravity and how does it work?

Gravity= The attraction between two masses

Anything with mass is affected by gravity

Every object is made of matter More matter= High mass

-The object with more mass, the stronger the pull it has -The object with more mass, the stronger the pull it has. -The farther two objects are from each other, the less the strength of pull is.

Gravitational Force

You pull on earth, earth pulls on you.

Gravity is a very crucial part of life
