Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The weight of an object is the force with which it is pulled towards a planet, which depends on the local gravity. Since Mars has about 40% of Earth's gravity, the brick would weigh significantly less there, while its mass, color, and volume would remain unchanged.
