What is the weight of humanbeing on moon?

Question

What is the weight of humanbeing on moon?

Answer 1

1/6th that of the earth.

Answer 2

weight = mass * gravity

gravity of moon = 1/6 gravity of earth

weight on earth =  mass * gravity of earth

weight on moon =  mass * gravity of moon

weight on moon  =  mass * 1/6 gravity of earth

then

weight on moon =  1/6 weight on earth

Answer 3

It will be 1/6th of its weight on earth.

For eg. - If a person weighs 60kg on earth, then his weight on the moon wll be 60/6 = 10kg.

In NASA's Vision for Space Exploration, humans will return to the Moon before 2020, and that will pave the way for journeys to Mars and beyond.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. As the first step on a long path back to the Moon, NASA will launch a robot probe to the Moon in 2008 to create high-resolution maps, seek landing sites, and continue to search for water ice and other useful resources.

The U.S. space agency will send the new Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to study the Moon in October 2008. Data sent back to Earth from the LRO will will facilitate returning humans safely to the Moon and enable extended stays.

LRO will work at least one year orbiting over the Moon's poles some 20-30 miles above the lunar surface. It may work as long as five years observing the surface and acting as a communication relay satellite for other spacecraft above and on the lunar surface.

The spacecraft should be able to:

Measure deep space radiation in orbit over the Moon

Map the Moon's topography

Record temperatures in polar shadowed regions

Photograph the permanently shadowed regions of the surface

Identify near-surface water ice trapped in polar soil

Locate ground features for landing sites

Measure lighting of the polar region

A smaller companion, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, will be launched with LRO. After launch, LCROSS will travel independently and crash into the lunar surface in search of water ice.

The Bush plan. More than three decades after the last man walked on the Moon, U.S. President George W. Bush proposed sending humans there again, to build a permanent base, and then on to Mars.

"The desire to explore and understand is part of our character," Bush said in January 2004. "We do not know where this journey will end, yet we know this – human beings are headed into the cosmos.

"Mankind is drawn to the heavens for the same reason we were once drawn into unknown lands and across the open sea. We choose to explore space because doing so improves our lives and lifts our national spirit."

The new goals include sending robot explorers to the Moon by 2008 and human explorers by 2015.

American astronauts would return to the Moon around 2015 with a human base to be completed on the Moon soon after. Human flights to Mars would follow in the next decade. The Moon would be used as a steppingstone for manned trips to Mars and beyond.

Endorsement. Space professionals and enthusiasts have had a powerful desire to return to the Moon since the last Apollo astronaut left there in 1972. The Bush call for exploration of the Moon and Mars was the boldest space goal since President Kennedy called in 1961 for sending astronauts to the Moon. That goal was accomplished with six manned flights between 1969-1972.

In September 2006, a special National Research Council panel of the National Academy of Sciences declared the Moon "priceless" to planetary scientists. The group gave a strong endorsement to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's plan for returning to the Moon. The scientists said lunar exploration will open the way to broader studies of the Earth and Solar System.

The National Academy of Sciences is established by Congress to advise the government on science and technology. The 15-member special National Research Council panel included university scientists, retired members of the space industry, and a journalist. They said the Moon's geological record could reveal the Moon's secrets to astronauts on the scene.

Bush wants the United States to establish an "extended presence" on the Moon in preparation for exploring Mars. NASA is spending $12 billion over five years toward landing on the Moon.

The scientists want NASA to study the composition and structure of the Moon's interior, the lunar atmosphere, and the Moon's potential as an observation platform for studying Earth, the Sun, and deep space astronomy.

Why Go Back Now?

--------------------------------------...

Twelve American astronauts walked on the Moon between 1969-1972. No human being has been there since, so why go back now?

Humans living on the Moon and Mars would allow Earth to exploit numerous opportunities for the generation of energy, astronomy, communications, mining, industrialization, and commercialization, as well as the future expansion of humanity across the Solar System.

In later decades, Mars could be the j

Answer 5

1/6th that of earth

Answer 6

The weight of human on moon is 1/6 of his total weight on earth
