Pluto but if you dont count that as a planet then Mercury.

How does size and composition of various planets affect your weight?

Weight on different planets is affected by both size and composition. The size of a planet determines its gravitational pull, so your weight on a smaller planet would be less than on a larger one. The composition of a planet also plays a role, as denser planets have a stronger gravitational force, resulting in higher weight. For example, you would weigh less on a smaller, less dense planet like Mars compared to the larger, more dense Earth.


How does your weight change while on a different planet?

Your weight, or any objects weight, is a function of your mass and the local gravitational force. Planets such as Mars and Mercury, or even the moon have much lower gravity, since these bodies are smaller and less massive. So your weight will be less, though your mass will remain the same. I will still be a 100kg man (my mass), but on Mercury I will weigh 38kg.


Why is your weight less on some planets and greater on other planets?

Weight is determined by the gravitational pull of a planet. Planets with stronger gravitational forces will make you weigh more, while planets with weaker gravitational forces will make you weigh less. The difference in weight on different planets is due to variations in their mass and size.


What is the weight on the planet?

The weight of an object on a planet depends on the planet's gravity and the mass of the object. The formula to calculate weight is Weight = Mass x Gravity. So, weight on a planet will be different from the weight on Earth depending on the planet's gravity.


Why would weight and not mass change if landed on mars?

Weight changes because it depends on the gravitational pull of the planet. Since Mars has a weaker gravitational force than Earth, an object or person would weigh less on Mars than on Earth. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of the planet because it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?

Weight decreases as gravity decreases.

Does your weight change when you go to another planet?

Your weight would change on another planet due to differences in gravitational pull. For example, if you were on a planet with stronger gravity than Earth, your weight would increase. Conversely, if you were on a planet with weaker gravity, your weight would decrease.

What is the maximum weight a planet can get to?

There is no maximum weight that a planet can get to. A planet's weight depends on its mass and the gravity it has.


Why is your gravity less on other planets?

On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.


How can you get instant weight loss on another planet?

Technically, it is not an actual "weight loss". Our weight is determined heavily by the gravity on Earth. Other planets have either more, less, or similar gravity to us. If the planet has a different gravity, a person will seem to weight less due to the forces needed to hold them down to the ground. Once the return to Earth, however, their weight will not have changed at all.


Which planet would you weigh less that you do on earth Saturn Venus mars or Jupiter?

This question is harder than it might seem. The answer is: You would weigh less on both Venus and Mars. You would weigh more on Jupiter. As regards Saturn, you could weigh more or less depending where on the planet you were. For example, at Saturn's equator the effect of the planet's rotation would be enough to reduce your effective weight to less than your Earth weight.


Weight is the measure of the force of what?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on a person. This is why, when you visit another planet that has a different gravitational pull, you may weight more or less because gravity has less effect on you.


Why the Jupiter consider the largest planet but it has less weight?

Jupiter is considered the largest planet because it has a larger diameter than any other planet. However, because it's composition consists of mainly gas, it very light. Those gasses are lighter than the solids that make up other planets, giving it less weight.


Why your weigt increases on other planet?

Your mass stays the same but your weight is different because it is the force that the planet's mass attracts your mass with. So if you are on a small planet your weight is less. A body with 100 pounds mass has a weight of 100 pounds on the Earth but only 17 pounds on the Moon, and zero pounds in space.


On Venus Will your weight be more or less than it is on earth?

Slightly less. If you weighed 200 kg on Earth, you would only weigh 181.5 kg on Venus. See link for planet weight comparison.
