I need help with my physics homework pleaseee!!

How many times greater or smaller is your weight during a solar eclipse?


Best answer:
Answer by ohSnapThat's assuming the moon is directly overhead?

ok, so Fg = Gm1m2/r^2

|Fg|=G*m_earth*m_you/(radius_of_earth)^2 - G*m_moon*m*you/(distance_from_center_of_moon_to_you)^2
