Explanation

• Weight depends on gravitational force acting on mass.
• The Moon’s gravity is about 1/6th of Earth’s, so your weight decreases.
• Your mass remains the same, only weight changes.

Additional information:

• Weight change occurs due to difference in gravity.
• Mass is constant everywhere in the universe.

Explanation

• Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
• It depends on mass of the object and gravitational acceleration (g).
• Formula: Weight (W) = Mass × Gravity (W = m × g)

Additional information:

• Earth: g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
• Moon: g ≈ 1.6 m/s² (weight is less)

• Paper Chromatography is a method used to separate and identify colored substances, especially dyes in a mixture.
• It works based on different rates of movement of substances through absorbent paper with a solvent.

Additional information:

• Filtration – separates solids from liquids.
• Sublimation – separates a solid that sublimes from a mixture.
• Distillation – separates liquids based on boiling points.
