The mass stays the same, only the weight changes.
Weight is a function of gravity so:
W=mg where W=weight, m=mass and g=gravitational acceleration.
An average giraffe weighs on Earth about 2,200lbs.
On the Moon is would weigh about 365.2lbs, whereas on Jupiter is would weigh about 5200.8lbs.
The gravity of an object is determined by its mass and distance. Jupiter has more mass than the Moon, but the Sun has much more mass than both Jupiter and the Moon, making the Sun the most gravitationally influential of the three.
The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.

The moon that is described as having the largest mass is Ganymede. This is one of the moons of Jupiter. Its mass is about 2.02 times that of Earth's moon.

The moon Io is the densest moon of Jupiter. You would weigh about 18.3% of what you weigh on Earth. Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system, with a larger diameter than Mercury but with much less mass. Ganymede's larger diameter and low density mean you would weigh slightly less (14.6%) than on the Moon (about 16.6% of your weight on Earth).

The earth is larger than the moon (about 4 times the size)12,756km vs 3,476 km in diameter . Jupiter is 318 times the mass of earth. The gravitational pull of Jupiter is immense!
The moon that is described as having the largest mass is Ganymede. This is one of the moons of Jupiter. Its mass is about 2.02 times that of Earth's moon.
The two Jovian planet satellites that are larger in size than mercury are Ganymede and Titan. Ganymede is the moon of Jupiter and Titan is the moon of Saturn.
Jupiter's largest moon is Ganymede, with a radius of 2640 km.
The planet Mercury with a diameter of 3030 miles (4878 kilometers) is smaller than Jupiter's moon Ganymede (5276 km) as well as Saturn's moon Titan (5150 km). Jupiter's moon Callisto (4800 km) as also nearly the same size as Mercury.
