Because the gravitaional forces on Jupiter are greater than here on Earth, so therefore the force on your body is greater. This increases your weight. Your mass remains the same though. Force(or weight) = mass * acceleration. Acceleration is gravitational constant. On earth it is 9.81 m/s2. Not sure what it is on Jupiter. Also mass depends on body fluid weight.

How much heavier would you be on Jupiter?
Well, Jupiter is a bigger planet so it has more mass and mass causes gravitational attraction which is a big factor in deciding your weight. Weight=Mass x Acceleration of gravity so the bigger the gravity the bigger your weight so you would weigh more on Jupiter because of its bigger acceleration due to gravity. Your mass is going to stay the same no matter what but the gravity will change.
This planet is more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined?
In our solar system, Jupter has two and a half times the mass of the other planets combined. Note that outside the solar system, exoplanets have been discovered tens of times the mass of Jupiter.
Why is there more gravity on Earth than on Jupiter?
Because of a basic law which states that matter is attracted to matter, the gravitational pull of a body is directly proportional to its mass. Thus, Jupiter, having a larger mass than the moon, has a greater gravitational force.
What is Jupiter's land mass?
We do not know if Jupiter has a land mass, it is composed of of 90% hydrogen, and 10% helium. It is unforunate that we can not see the inside of Jupiter from our telescopes but todays scientists belive that there is no surface area to begin with. One day astronauts will find their way to Jupiter but they would probably have to stay above the clouds
How heavy will you be on Jupiter?
you will probablly be has light as a two year oldincorrect. Jupiter's gravity is far more heavy than earths, you'd way about 2.64 times more on Jupiter.
Would you way more if you went on Jupiter?
Yes you do. Your mass stays the same but you weigh more. For example. On earth, if your mass is 45kg, you weigh 450N on the moon, its muliplied by six etc.
How gravitational contraction occur in planet Jupiter?
It occurs in the same way as everywhere else. The greater the mass the more powerful the gravitational attraction.

Could a planet be smaller in size than Jupiter but greater in mass?
Yes. Jupiter is mainly made of gas, so any planet slightly smaller in size but made of solid material would have more mass than Jupiter. Bigger size doesn't always mean more mass. For example, a black hole that is several kilometer in diameter can easily be WAY more massive than any planets in our solar system.
Is Jupiter bigger than the local supercluster?
No, not at all. Jupiter is part of the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Local Group (of Galaxies), which is part of the Local Superclusters. Jupiter's mass is nothing when compared to the mass of Superclusters.
Why would you way more on Jupiter even though your mass would stay the same?
Because your weight is proportional to the product of your mass and the mass ofwhatever large body you happen to be standing on at the moment. The number you'reused to seeing is your weight when the other body is the earth. If the other body is notthe earth but something different, then your weight is different.
What is the heaviest mass revolving around the sun?
Regretfully that would be me. Serious answer: It's the planet Jupiter. Strictly speaking mass isn't "heavy". It's "weight" that can be heavy. So, "Jupiter is the greatest mass" is a better way to say it.
How many galaxys does Jupiter have?
Jupiter does not "have" any galaxies. Compared to a galaxy, even the giant planet Jupiter is infinitesimally small. Jupiter is in the same galaxy that we are in: the Milky Way.
What is your weight on planet Jupiter if your weight on earth is 42kg?
If you weighed 42kg on Earth, you would weigh 99.2kg on Jupiter. EDIT: Actually, this is not correct, since kg is a unit of mass. Mass would be the same in both locations. 42kg would be 42kg. The multiplier for weight though, is about 2.35. If you had a mass of 42kg, you would *weigh* about 412 N. Your WEIGHT on Jupiter would then be about 967 N.
