If I weighed 285 pounds here on Earth, how much would I weigh on the other planets in our Solar System? How about the moons?

I know on Earth's Moon you'd weigh about 47.5 pounds (285/6), and that you'd weigh thousands of pounds on the sun, but that's pretty much all I know. Sep 01 04, 4:12 PM

From around 674 pounds on Jupiter, to about the same as a postage stamp (ref: recent lecture I attended by Sir Patrick Moore - name drop, name drop) on the moons of Pluto. The following site works out your weight on all of the planets and our moon: http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/ Sep 02 04, 11:56 AM

Mercury: 38% of Earth’s Venus: 91% of Earth’s Earth: 100% of Earth’s (9.81 meters/second2) Mars: 38% of Earth’s Jupiter: 254% of Earth’s Saturn: 108% of Earth’s Uranus: 91% of Earth’s Neptune: 119% of Earth’s Pluto: 8% of Earth’s So what this all means is that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 38 pounds on Mercury or Mars, 91 pounds on Venus, 254 pounds on Jupiter (!!!), 108 pounds on Saturn, 91 pounds on Uranus, 119 pounds on Neptune, or only 8 pounds on Pluto. http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1108 Mar 07 10, 8:48 PM
