An object's weight is dependent upon its location in the universe. Why is this true?

A. This is true because gravitational force is the magnitude of weight acting on an object's mass and since weight varies in different places in the universe, both gravitational force and mass also vary.

B. This is true because weight is the amount of matter in an object. Because gravity is a force, and force is proportional to weight, both gravity and weight vary in different places in the universe.

C. This is true because gravitational force is the magnitude of weight acting on an object and since weight varies in different places in the universe, gravitational force also varies.

D. This is true because weight is the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an object, and since gravitational force varies in different places in the universe, weight also varies.

    Because an object's weight is the measure of the gravitational

    forces between the object and other things that have mass.

    In its travels around the universe, the object can be in the

    neighborhood of other things with huge mass or tiny mass,

    and it can be nearer to them or farther away from them. So

    the gravitational forces between the object and other things

    can have widely different values in different places.

    Read the choices very carefully.

    I think 'D' is the one that says this.
