The moon and the planets all have gravity.
The moon has less gravity than Earth. That
means you would weigh less on the moon,
because less gravity pulls on you. If you
weigh 60 pounds on Earth, you would
weigh 10 pounds on the moon.
How many pounds
would a 60-pound person weigh
on each of these planets? Do the math
to discover the answer.

down, backwards, forwards,
sideways and diagonally.
