The total mass of all eight major planets is approximately 446.6125 Earths. Earth's mass is approximately 5.97 x1024kg, thus the total mass is in the region of 2.666 x 1027kg.
Note that weight is a meaningless term since weight is a function of mass and gravity, and all planets are themselves a source of gravity (as is all matter, including you and I). In any event, all the planets are effectively weightless since they all orbit the largest source of gravity in the solar system, the sun itself. This is why we use the term mass instead of weight.
Note that Pluto has not been considered a major planet since 1977 after the discovery of 2060 Chiron along with numerous other icy rocks with similarly eccentric orbits to Pluto, including the scattered disc Erin (discovered in 2005) which is approximately 27% larger than Pluto. In 2006, all these minor planets were reclassified as dwarf planets. As such, there are only 8 major planets.

What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?
Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.
Is neptne the eight planet from the sun?
Yes, Neptune is the 8th planet from the Sun.
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.
Is the planet biyo one of the nine major planets?
No. Biyo is an asteroid, not a planet.
Why is Pluto not among the nine planet?
Pluto is no longer among the nine planets anymore because it is too small. This planet also does not have an extensive atmosphere.
What is the force that makes your weight change from planet to planet?
gravity

What do astronomers use to classify an object as a planet?
The mass and weight of the object classifies the object as a planet. For example Pluto's mass and weight proved to be too small for a planet therefore, it classifies as a dwarf planet.
