What would your weight be on each planet?

What would your weight be on each planet?

Gravity is yet another intriguing topic that fascinates a lot of people. Why is gravity is so alluring? Why is it so beguiling and appealing? That's due to the fact that Gravity is no less than magic or wizardry. It affects how our seasons change, how our days and nights alternate, how much long should be the year or a day or what is your weight?

Yes, Gravity affects weight as you might already be aware of. But What would be the weight of you on each planet? Let's find out.

Due to the effect of Gravity, our weight on different planets would surely be different. 
The question is WHY?

WHY IT HAPPENS?

Alright, so first you need to have an imagination that we live in a world so connected that we can travel to other planets and lets just suppose for one moment, that there is air, water, food and everything on each planet so we don't die once we land. As you would be whirling through the space boosting from one planet to another, one part of space to another, you would yourself feel major/minor differences in your weight. Sometimes, you would feel you have put on weight but the other times you would feel that you are losing those calories. Nothing actually is happening as weight is not changing due to your MASS but it is changing due to the changing gravity. Our weight depends on two things, Mass and Gravity. As mass remains constant ((almost)) but gravity keeps on changing with you travelling around the space, your weight would surely be dynamic. 

Using some Newtonian math, we can figure out how much you'd weigh on each planet in our solar system, plus the moon, sun, and Pluto (nope, still not a planet). Let's take the sun as an example, since its hefty mass makes it a fun one. The sun's gravitational factor relative to the Earth (more on the specifics of that here) is 27.9. Just multiply that number by your weight, and voila! You have what your weight would be on the sun, assuming you're not instantly vaporized in our fantastical world of pretend.

You guys might be wondering, why the heck is this information even important or relevant? Well as far as it seems silly to know how much would you weigh on each planet, this information helps a lot in different implications. The colonizing of moon and sending an astronaut to MARS is getting real by every passing minute and that is where this info plays its part.

A Donut Shaped Planet might be existing! It is Technically Possible

A Donut Shaped Planet might be existing! It is Technically Possible

Space has always been curious for all the good men and women out there. Space fascinates almost everyone and everyone is just so eager to learn more and more. No need to mention that our worth Scientists are always in the research of our beautiful yet mysterious planetary system.

A planet in the shape of a donut, or toroid, as it's called in mathematics, could technically exist, but it would have to jump some steep physics hurdles to get there. Planets are round because gravity pulls inward. To keep the hole, or hub, at the center of a toroid planet from collapsing, you'd need an equal outward force. Centrifugal force (the force you feel when a spinning merry-go-round nearly sends you flying) could do the trick, but it would mean that the planet would have to rotate at an extremely high rate. That would most likely make a day on a donut-shaped planet last just a few hours.

Its shape would also do funny things to gravity. That centrifugal force would make gravity the weakest at the equator (which, by the way, it is on Earth too). Gravity would be strongest just inward from the poles. But unlike the minor differences in gravity on Earth, these differences would be massive: more than twice as much near the poles as at the equator. That means a vacation to the tropics would come with instant weight loss—a pretty good deal. But don't pack your bags just yet: remember that high rotation rate? It would make for harsh weather. We're talking intense winds, zoned climates with massive temperature differences, and small, super-strong storm systems.

Time to Say Goodbye to Our Planet in 1000 Years, Says Stephen Hawking

Time to Say Goodbye to Our Planet in 1000 Years, Says Stephen Hawking

Humans have been on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years. So far so good, right? Well, according to famed physicist Stephen Hawking, things around here are about to get ugly for us. It's time to start poking around the neighborhood for a better place to call home. And by place, we mean planet.

Hawking raised concerns for human life on Earth during a speech at the Oxford Union on November 15, 2016, essentially giving the human race an expiration date. "We must ... continue to go into space for the future of humanity. I don't think we will survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our fragile planet," the 74-year-old physicist said. He believes that humans won't last another 1,000 years on our "fragile planet," and we need to find a new habitable planet to call home before humans are wiped out for good. If we don't make it off Earth in that timeframe, Hawking believes humanity will be at great risk of encountering a mass extinction. Though the chance of a huge, natural, catastrophic event in any given year is low, that chance will increase over time and may eventually lead to humanity getting wiped out just like the dinosaurs did. If a natural mass extinction doesn't do it, Hawking thinks humanity will burn through natural resources so quickly that life on Earth will no longer be sustainable. Lastly, if neither of those things do it, maybe the robots will. Hawking is vocal about the threat of full artificial intelligence, and thinks that if AI becomes sophisticated enough it will redesign itself faster than humans can. Down the line, this could spell the end for the human race.
