How Much Do You Weigh on Other Worlds? Let’s Find Out!

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, “What would I weigh on the Moon? Or Mars? Or Jupiter?” You’re not alone — it’s one of the most fun space questions ever!

We all know our weight on Earth. But what if you could stand on a different planet? Would you feel lighter or heavier? Let’s explore how gravity changes your weight and find out what you’d weigh on other worlds.

Why Your Weight Changes

Your weight depends on gravity. The bigger and denser a planet is, the stronger its pull. Earth’s gravity gives you your normal weight. On the Moon, the gravity is much weaker — that’s why astronauts bounce around like they’re floating!

How to Calculate It

It’s super simple:

Your weight on Earth × Planet Gravity Factor = Your weight on that planet

So if you weigh 70 kg on Earth and the Moon’s factor is 0.165:

70 × 0.165 = 11.5 kg
Yep — you’d weigh just 11.5 kg on the Moon!

Quick Gravity Guide

Here’s a handy guide to see how much you’d weigh:

Place	Gravity Factor	If You Weigh 70 kg
Mercury	0.38	26.6 kg
Venus	0.91	63.7 kg
Moon	0.165	11.5 kg
Mars	0.38	26.6 kg
Jupiter	2.34	163.8 kg
Saturn	1.06	74.2 kg
Uranus	0.92	64.4 kg
Neptune	1.19	83.3 kg
Pluto	0.06	4.2 kg

Try It Yourself

Next time you want to impress someone, just grab a calculator.
Multiply your weight by the planet’s gravity factor — and ta-da! Now you know how much you’d weigh in space.

Fun Fact

In zero gravity — like on the International Space Station — your weight is technically zero. But don’t get excited! Your mass stays the same, so you don’t magically lose fat.

Final Words

It’s fun to imagine feeling super light on the Moon or super heavy on Jupiter. Next time you feel like your weight is too much to carry — just remember, on Pluto you’d weigh next to nothing!

So, where do you wish you could stand? Moon, Mars, or Jupiter? Try it, calculate it, and share your favorite world with your friends. Happy space dreaming!
