A Baby Elephant's Weight on Saturn

Weight of a Baby Elephant on Earth

A baby elephant weights 250 pounds on Earth. Elephants are known for their large size and weight, with baby elephants already weighing hundreds of pounds. On Earth, the gravity pulls objects towards the center with an average acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. This is the standard measurement used to calculate weight on Earth.

Weight of a Baby Elephant on Saturn

The acceleration of gravity at Saturn's "surface" is 10.44 m/s^2. This means that Saturn has a slightly higher gravity pull compared to Earth. Compared to Earth's 9.81 m/s^2, that's 6.4% greater. As a result, any object, including the baby elephant, would weigh more on Saturn than on Earth.

Calculating this difference, the baby elephant would weigh 266 pounds on Saturn. This weight increase of 6.4% is a significant difference when considering the large size of the elephant. Despite the unique conditions of Saturn's gravity, the baby elephant's weight would change accordingly based on the gravitational pull at that planet.
