[/caption] The Earthâs mass is 5.9736 x 1024 kg. Thatâs a big number, so letâs write it out in full: 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. You could also say the Earthâs mass is 5.9 sextillion tonnes. Phew, thatâs a lot of mass.
The weight of an object is a force and is so is measured in Newtons, while the mass of an object is measured in kilograms. To find the weight of an object you simply multiply its mass (in kilograms) by the force of the Earth's gravity on 1 kg (10N).On the Earth the weight of our crate will be 50x10 = 500 N.Now imagine taking the crate to the Moon and lifting it up there.Its mass is still 50 kg but the Moon's gravitational pull is only about 1/6 of the Earth's in other words about 1.6 N/kg. This means that the weight of our crate on the Moon will be 50x1.6 = 80 N and so it will be much easier to lift up.ow imagine taking the crate to the Moon and lifting it up there.
