Solar System Lift
SS Man is very strong. He is able to lift a 200-pound barbell on Earth. Do you think he would be able to lift that same barbell if it were on the other planets in our solar system? Under the picture of each planet is a YES and a NO box. Click on YES if you think SS Man would be able to lift the barbell on that planet. Click on NO if you don't think he would be able to lift the barbell on that planet. After you have made your guess click on the picture of the planet to see the results.
Remember - The more mass a planet has the more gravity it has. Planets that have more mass than Earth would have more gravity than Earth. An object would weigh more on those planets than they do on Earth.
