How do you calculate your weight on other planets?

We calculate weight by multiplying mass by the gravity on the surface of the planet. So, if you know your weight on Earth and the surface gravity on Earth, you can calculate your mass. You can then calculate your weight on any other planet by using the surface gravity of that planet in the same equation.

Do you weigh more on other planets?

Planets and moons are very massive objects and have a very strong pull on other objects. This phenomenon is known as gravity. More massive objects have a stronger pull than less massive objects. This is why you weigh more on larger, more massive planets like Jupiter and less on smaller, less massive planets like Mars.

What is my weight in space?

This force of attraction between you and the Earth (or any other planet) is called your weight. If you are in a spaceship far between the stars and you put a scale underneath you, the scale would read zero. Your weight is zero. You are weightless.

What is my weight on Pluto?

The surface gravity on Pluto is about 1/12th the surface gravity on Earth. For example, if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 8 pounds on Pluto.

How much would a 100 pound person weigh on Venus?

90 pounds
Venus is only 95\% the size of Earth, and 81\% of its mass. With the smaller size and mass, the force of gravity pulling you on the surface is lower. To get your weight on Venus, just multiply your current weight by 0.9. That’s why 100 pounds becomes 90 pounds.

Why do we weigh different on other planets?

Stars, moons, and planets all have gravity. The amount of gravity the have depends on their size. So, a small planet has less and larger planet has more gravity. Just like the planets, a person with more mass has more gravity and therefore weighs more.

What’s your weight on Mars?

Since Mars has less mass than Earth, the surface gravity on Mars is less than the surface gravity on Earth. The surface gravity on Mars is only about 38\% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.

What do I weigh on Mars?

6.39 × 10^23 kg (0.107 M⊕)Mars / Mass

How much would I weigh on Jupiter if I was 100 pounds?

240 pounds
This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).

What planets would a person weigh less than on Earth?

For example, if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mercury . That’s because Mercury weighs less than Earth, and therefore its gravity would pull less on your body. If, on the other hand, you were on heavy Jupiter, you would weigh a whopping 253 pounds!

What planet weighs twice as much as the other planets combined?

Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and is also the largest planet in our solar system and weights more than twice as much as all the other planets combined. It revolves around the sun every 11.9 earth years, but has the fasted rotation time of any planet at about 10 hours.

Which planet would a person weight the least?

At one time, Pluto was the planet where a human would weigh the least. In 2006, Pluto was demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet, so as of May 2014, Mars is the planet where humans would weigh the least.

What will be your weight on other planets?

Because weight = mass x surface gravity, multiplying your weight on Earth by the numbers above will give you your weight on the surface of each planet. If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 351 lbs. (159 kg.) on Jupiter, 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars and a mere 9 lbs. (4 kg.) on the dwarf planet of Pluto.
