Shari uses the data in the table to predict how her weight on Venus would compare with her weight on Earth.

Which is the best prediction Shari could make?
Her weight is greater on Venus because Venus has less mass.
Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.
Her weight is lower on Earth because it is farther from the Sun.
Her weight is greater on Venus because Venus has a smaller diameter.

Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is [tex]9.8\ m/s^2[/tex] while on Venus is [tex]8.87\ m/s^2[/tex].

So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.

Since, [tex]w=mg[/tex]

i.e. weight depends on g.

So, correct prediction is (b)
