How Much Do You Weigh?

Due to gravity, when you travel to different planets you may notice that your weight is different. Wake up with a new diet plan, perhaps? Unfortunately, that isn’t how it works. Your mass will remain the same regardless of your location. What changes is the gravity!

The weight of planets are different therefore the force of gravity is different from planet to planet as well.

I did some research on how much this weight differs! Here is what I found:

On Earth you may weight 110 lbs. However, on Mars you will weight 42 lbs.

Your weight on the moon is 16. 5% of what you would experience on the earth.

Earth: 100 lbs

Moon: 16. 5 lbs

Jupiter: 240 lbs / 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of earth

Mercury: 38 lbs / 38% of surface gravity

Basically, you must figure out what percent the surface gravity is on that plant.
