The mass stays the same, only the weight changes.

Weight is a function of gravity so:

W=mg where W=weight, m=mass and g=gravitational acceleration.

An average giraffe weighs on Earth about 2,200lbs.

On the Moon is would weigh about 365.2lbs, whereas on Jupiter is would weigh about 5200.8lbs.

Which of Jupiter's moons would you be the heaviest on?

The moon Io is the densest moon of Jupiter. You would weigh about 18.3% of what you weigh on Earth. Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system, with a larger diameter than Mercury but with much less mass. Ganymede's larger diameter and low density mean you would weigh slightly less (14.6%) than on the Moon (about 16.6% of your weight on Earth).


Why does the Earth have more gravitation pull than the moon?
