Your weight on Callisto
Your mass does not change when you travel. Your weight does, because weight is a force and it depends on the local gravitational field.

Show the working
- Your mass = 70
- How high you can jump on Earth = 0.5
- gm = 7.179289e12 = 7 179 290 000 000
- radius = 2.4103e6 = 2 410 300
- Surface gravity = 7 179 290 000 000 / 2 410 300^2 = 1.235 77
- Gravity relative to Earth = 1.235 77 / 9.80665 = 0.126 014
- Your weight as a force = 70 * 1.235 77 = 86.5042
- Your weight there, in kilograms-force = 86.5042 / 9.80665 = 8.820 98
- Your weight in pounds-force = 86.5042 / 4.4482216152605 = 19.4469
- How high that jump would take you = 1.235 77 > 0 ? 0.5 * 9.80665 / 1.235 77 : 0 = 3.967 82
- Time for something to fall one metre = 1.235 77 > 0 ? sqrt(2 * 1 / 1.235 77) : 0 = 1.272 17
- Your weight on Earth for comparison = 70 * 9.80665 = 686.466
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- surface gravity g = GM / r^2
- weight = mass x g
- jump height scales inversely with gravity for the same take-off energy
The gravitational constant G is the least precisely known fundamental constant, so results here are reported as rounded rather than exact.
Kilograms-force is what a bathroom scale reads. It is a force, not a mass, which is why the number changes and your mass does not.
Where the numbers come from
- GM and mean radius from planetary ephemeris and spacecraft tracking solutions.
