What would you weigh on another planet?
Your mass never changes; your weight does. On the Moon you would weigh a sixth as much, and jump six times as high.
Almost exactly an on Earth
75 kg is heavier than 6 of the 11 references on this page.
Reference figures are measurements and are rounded; the unit conversion behind them is exact.
| Reference | Size | Yours ÷ theirs | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| on Pluto | 4.74 kg | 15.8× | Surface gravity 0.62 m/s² |
| on the Moon | 12.4 kg | 6.05× | 1.62 m/s² |
| on Mercury | 28.3 kg | 2.65× | 3.70 m/s² |
| on Mars | 28.5 kg | 2.64× | 3.72 m/s² |
| on Uranus | 66.5 kg | 1.13× | 8.69 m/s² |
| on Venus | 67.8 kg | 1.11× | 8.87 m/s² |
| on Earth | 75 kg | 1× | 9.80665 m/s² |
| on Saturn | 79.8 kg | 0.939× | 10.44 m/s² |
| on Neptune | 85.3 kg | 0.88× | 11.15 m/s² |
| on Jupiter | 190 kg | 0.396× | 24.79 m/s² |
| on the Sun | 2,096 kg | 1/27.9 | 274 m/s² |
Worth knowing
- Saturn’s surface gravity is only 6% higher than Earth’s despite 95 times the mass, because it is so much larger and so much less dense.
- On the Sun you would weigh 28 times what you do here — assuming you could stand on a surface that is not solid and is 5 500 °C.
Frequently asked
Would I weigh less on Mars?
About 38% of your Earth weight. A 75 kg person would register 28 kg on a Martian bathroom scale, while still containing exactly the same amount of matter.
Why is Jupiter’s gravity only 2.5 times Earth’s?
Because surface gravity depends on mass divided by radius squared. Jupiter has 318 times the mass but 11 times the radius, and 318 ÷ 11² is 2.6.
