The importantidea here is a planet's "surface gravity".
That's the measure of the planet's gravitational "pull"at its surface.
The larger this number, the heavier the weight ofan object on the surface of the planet.
For example, the "surface gravity" on Mars is only 38% of the Earth's.
So, if you could be on the surface of Mars, your weight would be 38% of your weight on Earth.

How does the size of a planet affect the mass of a person?
It does not. Mass is independent of where an object is. Weight, however, will vary in direct proportion to the planet's gravity.
What is the maximum weight a planet can get to?
There is no maximum weight that a planet can get to. A planet's weight depends on its mass and the gravity it has.
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
What is the force that makes your weight change from planet to planet?
gravity
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
What is the force of gravity at the surface of the planet?
weight
What Planet would you be on if you had no weight?
There isn't one. Anything that has mass has gravity, and anything with gravity will produce a "weight".
What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
What features of a planet affect gravity?
mass and density
Why does your weight change from planet to planet?
because of the gravity far from the sun.Thats also why the planets are circuling the sun because of the gravity .
How does a galaxy's gravity affect a planet?
It has a minor gravitational pull on it, but it will barely affect it.
