More. The sun is about a million times heavier than the earth, and its radius is around a hundred times larger. using newton's formula for gravity, you can first get the equation for your own weight on Earth:

F(earth) = GMm / r^2

m is the mass of the person, M is the earth's mass, and r is the earth's radius. G is the universal constant for gravity.

and for the sun it's

F(sun) = G(1000000M)m/ (100r)^2 = 100GMm / r^2

Therefore, on the sun, you weigh about a hundred times more than on earth

Actually, if you could hypothetically stand on the Sun (and you can't) you would weigh far more on the Sun than on the Earth, by several orders of magnitude. Of course you cannot stand on the Sun; it isn't solid, so there's nothing to stand ON, and every molecule of your body would flash into plasma and disassociate at the heat of the Sun.

no, weight is the force (so gravity affects this) so your pounds go up. Mass, yes (kg) because that's a measure of material.

The sun is much more massive than the Earth, hence, it has a stronger gravitational field.

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.


Would you weight more on the moon than you do on the earth?

You would weigh less


Because mercury is less massive than earth things there would weigh?

they would weigh more. more gravity= more weightadd. With a smaller gravity, they would weigh LESS.


How much would you weigh on Neptune's if you weigh ninety pounds on earth?

well as i have researched i would have to say you would actually weigh 62kg and in lbs you would weigh 72lbs so in kg you would weigh 7kgs more and in lbs you would weight 12lbs more see simple hope that answers your question!


Does a rock weigh more than a moon?

No. Any object on the moon would weigh about a sixth of what it does on Earth.


Why do you weigh more on earth then on Pluto?

You weigh more on Earth than on Pluto because Earth has a higher gravitational pull than Pluto does.


Would you have more mass on the moon than earth?

Neither. Although you weigh more on earth your mass is the same no matter where you are.


Weight on Neptune?

On Neptune you would weight about 14% more than you weigh on Earth.


Would weight increase or decrase on the surface of an earth sized planet with greater mass than earth?

If you're the same distance from the center of the planet but its mass is greater than earth's mass, then the mutual gravitational force between you and that planet is greater than on earth, and you'll "weigh" more than you do here.


Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?

The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.


Why is the Sun heavier than Earth?

You would weigh more on the Sun because it is a greater mass, and it has a greater gravitational pull than the Earth. In retrospect, you would weigh less on the moon, since it is smaller and less gravitational pull.
