What is the first man on mercury?

We don't know who first saw the planet Mercury. Mercury can be seen with the naked eye, and it was known to ancients. It is a sure bet that when prehistoric people looked up at certain times, they saw Mercury (tho' they didn't know what it was at the time. There were ancients who recognized it as a "night visitor" that sort of looked like stars, but was brighter and did not move the same way the rest of the stars moved. Certainly they suspected something, but didn't have the tools to go far with it.

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.
