Do you weigh more on Jupiter than earth?

You would weigh about 2.3 times more on Jupiter than you would on earth, because of Jupiter's massive size. Your mass would remain the same though.


How strong is Jupiter's gravitational pull?

More than double Earths, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 236.4lbs on Jupiter.


Does a chocolate weigh more on Jupiter or Earth?

The weight of matter on any planet depends upon the gravitational force of that planet. Jupiter has more gravitational force than Earth, so anything (including chocolate) would weigh more there. (Jupiter has no true surface, so you could not weigh anything there.)


Would you weigh the most on Jupiter?

Because there is more gravity pulling you down than there is on Earth.


What planet would make you more than double your weight?

If you are on Jupiter, you will weigh more than double. (Weight on Earth taken as reference)


How many times more would you weigh on Jupiter than on Mars?

You would weigh about 6.68 times more on Jupiter.


Why do you not weigh 318 times more on Jupiter but instead weigh 2.53 times More than what you weigh on earth?

It is because Jupiter is larger than Earth, not just more massive. If you are to compress Jupiter to be the size of Earth you would weigh 318 times more at its surface. The strength of gravity varies with both the mass of the object and the distance from the center of mass. If you double the mass you double the strength of gravity at a given distance. To find the strength of gravity you must also divide by the square of the distance. Jupiter has 318 times the mass of Earth and 11.2 times the radius. 318/ (11.2^2) = 318/125.44 ≈ 2.53


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.


What if the surface gravity of Jupiter?

24.79 m/s2 or 2.528 times the gravity of Earth The gravity on Jupiter is greater than the gravity on Earth because Jupiter is more massive. Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 214 pounds on Jupiter.


How much is jupiter is bigger than earth?

Jupiter is more than 1000 times bigger than earth.


Why would you weigh more on Jupiter than you do on Earth?

You would weigh more on Jupiter because Jupiter has a greater mass than Earth. More mass equals a stronger gravitational pull. Since weight just measures gravity's pull, then you would weigh more.
