Based on the fact that the gaseous planets in the solar system have much greater mass than terrestrial planets, you would weigh more as weight depends on gravitational pull, which is increased based on the mass of the object.

Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or a terrestrial planet?

It depends but in most cases you would weigh more on a gas planet. While the gas planets have a far greater mass than the terrestrial planets, they also have much larger radii. The strength of the surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. Three of the four gas planets in the solar system have stronger surface gravity than any of the terrestrial planets. Uranus is the exception. Uranus is about 4 times the radius of Earth and 14.5 times Earth's mass, which gives Uranus a surface gravity 88.6% that of Earth. So you would weigh less on the gas planet Uranus than you would on Earth or Venus, which are terrestrial planets.


How much would a 200-pound person weigh on the planet Mars?

200-pound person weigh on the planet Mars would be 75.4 pounds


How much would an object with a mass of 5 kg weigh on Planet A?

Well you would need to know the force of Gravity on the surface of Planet A to answer this. The equation to use would be 5 multiplied by the force of gravity on Planet A = the weight in kilograms. So if Gravity on planet A was twice that on Earth then it would weigh 10Kg and if it was 1/2 that on Earth it would weigh 2.5 kg.


On which planet would a person weigh the most on?

On Jupiter


In which planet would you weigh the most?

Jupiter


Which planet would you weigh the most?

Jupiter, as it has the most gravity.

If you weigh 100 pounds on earth you would weigh 17 pounds on what planet?

Not on any planet in this solar system. Mercury has the weakest gravity of any planet in the solar system. A 100 lb person on Earth would weigh 37 lbs on Mercury. That same person would weigh about 17 lbs on the moon, but the moon is not a planet.


Which planet has a weight of 1225 Newtons?

There are probably meteors, small asteroids, or tiny comets that might weigh 1225 newtonson the surface of a moon or planet, but no "planet" would. There are people who weigh morethan that!
