Weight (as opposed to mass) is the result of being pulled down by Earth. Different planets have different mass of their own so that each one pulls with a different force.
Your mass will not change on different planets because mass is a measure of the amount of material present.

∙ 12y agoWeight is the gravitational pull on an object, as determined by the force on the object and the object's mass. As the gravitational pull varies from planet to planet, so does the weight. Something that weighed 1 kilogram on Earth at 9.8 newtons of force would weigh around 1/6th that on the moon.

Astronauts weight the same as they would on other planets?
They would have the same mass, however they would weigh different amounts. Mass is an object's property. Weight depends on the surrounding gravity.
Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?
because the earth is a small planet and people live on it where as other planets have nothing apart from little bacteria lol
Why is your weight different in other planet than in earth?
When you are on a planet your weight depends on how massive the planet is and how close to the center you are (planet's radius). That's because the planet is attracting you with the force of gravity and the force is larger if its mass is larger and the distance to the center is smaller. Since the different planets have different masses and different sizes the gravitational force on you will be different, so your weight will be different.
How are the inner planets and the outer planets different and alike?
the inner planets are made of rock, ice and other materials while the outer planets are made of different kinds of gases except for pluto.
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.

What is an object that different on other planets in the solar system?
Weight & gravitational force
Why do you weigh more on earth that other planets?
You don't, necessarily. On Jupiter you would weigh more than twice your weight on Earth. Your weight would be different on the different planets because the strength of gravity varies.
Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?

Does other planets have aluminum?
All of the other planets may contain some aluminium, though only the four rocky inner planets may contain significant amounts.
How many kilograms are in 372 newtons?
On Earth, 372 newtons is the weight of 37.932 kilograms of mass. In other places, it's the weight of different amounts of mass.
Is mass the amount of wieht of an object?
No. Weight and mass are two quite different things. Weight is the mass times the gravity. The same mass will have a different weight on other planets, for example, where the gravitational field may be stronger or weaker.
How much would 100lbs be on the other 7 planets?
There is a cool calculator you can use to see any weight as it would be on other planets and moons. click on this link:Your Weight on Other Worlds
How many kilos are in 238 pounds?
On Earth, 238 pounds is the weight of 107.955 kilograms of mass. (rounded) In other places, it's the weight of different amounts of mass.
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
What do you do to find your weight on other planets?
Multiply your Earth weight by . . .(acceleration of gravity on that planet)/9.807
How many grams are in 3.5 ounces of lard?
On Earth, 3.5 ounces is the weight of 99.22 grams of any substance. In other places, 3.5 ounces is the weight of different amounts of mass.
