weight of any person would differ on other planet as weight is the amount of gravitation pulling an object. whereas, mass is the amount of matter in an object.
amount of matter remains same but the gravitation changes.

A homonym for wait?
weight She is always worried about her weight even though she looks great.
Why does an astronauts weight change when in space?
Because of gravity. Depending on the gravity, the austronaut weights more or less. If the gravitational pull is bigger then the astronaut will weight more but if the gravitational pull is weaker then the astronaut will weight less, even though the mass of the austronaut doesn't change.
What are the 3 things same size same shape but different weight?
Anything with varying densities have different weights even though they are the same size and shape. For example, lead, plastic, and wood.
What was the movie about an astronaut that gets stuck on a planet with an alien and they eventually had a kid together even though the alien was thought to be a man?
Enemy Mine, but the aliens are asexual
Why are horses limbs so different from that of humans even though they contain the same bones?
they have a different body structure than we do; they carry a lot of weight on their two front kegs. we have two legs, and our weight is distributed between the two, instead of four. in other words, different needs between to species.
Do cigarettes keep you from gaining weight. Even though it doesn't effect your appetite?
No
How much will astronaut weigh in outer space?
A pound is a unit of mass. Mass is constant throughout the cosmos, so if the astronaut has a MASS of 180 pounds on Earth, it will be the same even in space. But, the astronaut doesn't have a weight of 180 pounds. His MASS is 180 pounds. Weight = mass x gravity. So, in space, his weight is 0 Newtons.
Do astronauts have weight in space?
Any object that has mass has weight even in space. If an astronaut weighs 195 pounds while standing on the planet then he/she will also weigh 195 pounds while in space. Earths gravity, which determined the weight, will exert the same force on this astronaut because the mass is the same. While in space, it may appear the astronaut is "floating", he/she is actually in free fall. What this means is, as they travel around the planet they are in reality "falling" to Earth but, for every inch they fall, the planet move an inch out of their way.
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.
