@stux More correctly: they have the same mass. 😏 Weight depends on gravity. So 1 kg of feathers on earth weighs more than 1 kg of iron on the moon.

@stux @TCMuffin Only approximately, but for such small objects I doubt it is measurable. That's a different and vastly more complicated topic 😊

@stux What about buoyancy? Are the materials in a vacuum? That question isn't as simple as it first appears. 🤓There needs to be a something else option 🤪

@stux of course the right answer is the logic one (#3) but try this:a) get a hit on the head with 1 kg of feathers; ☺️ b) get a hit on the head with 1 kg of lead; 🤪 c) rethink your answer to the above poll 🤭

@stux The gram is a unit of measure for mass, which is the same whether the item in on Earth or in space or anywhere else.Weight, or how heavy something is, is how much force it pushes down when it is on Earth (or another planet). A balloon filled with helium could have a mass of one kilogram, but weigh nothing because it is buoyant in air -- the air it displaces weighs more than the balloon.The lead displaces less volume of air than the feathers, so the lead is less buoyant than the feathers. Since the feathers are more buoyant (even though they are still heaver than the air they displace), they will push down toward the Earth with less force, so they will weight less.So the correct answer is one kilogram of lead is heavier.

@stux Let's ask ChatGPT. I've asked it something similar in the past, but about feathers and steel. And in silly units.1) It "understands" lead better than steel.2) It "understands" SI better than silly units.3) It's a LLM and so "understands" nothing.

@stux whaaaat ? It is not the feather 😱See the _100 Humans_ episode on Netflix where they ask the weight of a TV displaying either clouds or bricks 😁

@stux If we are talking volume, then feathers out displacement the lead every time

@stux Ok, so technically they mass the same, and also weight the same at sea level. Are we measuring the feathers on the moon?
