Answer : <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>
Explanation :
Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is while on Venus is
.
So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.
Since,
i.e. weight depends on g.
<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>
