First, you have to make him tell you his weight here on earth.Once you have that, the rest is easy.Multiply his earth weight by 0.377 .
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefor the weight of any object ... on thesurface of Mercury is 37.698% of its value on the surface of Earth. (rounded)
Being on Mercury will change your weight because you would be pulled down with a smaller force. You would weigh on Mercury 0.38 time your weight on Earth.
For every 100 pounds of a person's weight on Earth, he would weigh 37 pounds on Mercury. Every child is above average.
A 16 pound bowling ball on Earth would weight approximately 6 pounds on Mercury.
You would weight 45.6 lbs on mercury
You would be only 38% of your weight on Mercury as you are on earth. If you weigh 180 pounds on earth you would then only weigh 68.4 pounds on Mercury.
it is all to do with the gravity compaired to the mass. mass is different to weight.
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefor the weight of any object ... on thesurface of Mercury is 37.698% of its value on the surface of Earth. (rounded)
It would go something like this. e = Earth's gravity m = Mercury's gravity e*0.38=m Just put whatever number in Earth's gravity and do the math.

That's a very low weight; approximately the weight of a small baby. Anyway, gravity on Earth is 9.8 newton/kilogram, gravity on Mercury is 3.7 newton/kilogram. You can write a proportion for that; or else you can first work out the mass, then use this to calculate the weight on Mercury.
Things weigh much less

Mercury is the lightest planet, with a mass of 0.055 that of Earth.
