🪐 How much would you weigh on the Moon and the planets of the Solar System?

Weight on the Moon

👀 Did you know that on Jupiter you would weigh more than twice as much as on Earth?
👀 And that on the Moon you could jump six times higher?

The gravity of each planet is different, which means your weight changes depending on where you are. Walking on Earth is not the same as walking on Mars, and even less so on a gas giant like Saturn.

⚖️ Weight or mass? Discover the difference almost everyone confuses

You've probably said "I weigh 60 kg" more than once, but… did you know that's not entirely correct in physics? 🤯

What we usually call "weight" is actually mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object has and is always the same, no matter what planet you're on. It is measured in kilograms (kg) and is an intrinsic property of objects.

🔸 So, what is weight?

Weight is the force with which an object is pulled by gravity. It is measured in newtons (N) and changes depending on where you are.

Gravity on Earth, Moon, and Jupiter
𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑁) = 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑘𝑔) × 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑚/𝑠²)

If you have a mass of 60 kg, your weight will be:

  • Earth 🌍 → 60 × 9.81 = 588.6 N
  • Moon 🌕 → 60 × 1.625 = 97.5 N
  • Jupiter 🪐 → 60 × 24.79 = 1,487.4 N

🔹 What is relative weight?

When we talk about "weight" on other planets in kilogram-force (kgf), we are actually referring to relative weight. Relative weight indicates how much you "seem to weigh" compared to Earth. To simplify, kilogram-force (kgf) is used, which equals the force exerted by 1 kg on Earth.

1kgf = 9.81N

So, on other planets, we can calculate relative weight in kgf with:

𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑘𝑔𝑓) = 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑁) ÷ 9.81

For a mass of 60 kg, your relative weight will be:

  • Earth 🌍 → 60 × 9.81 / 9.81 = 60 kgf
  • Moon 🌕 → 60 × 1.625 / 9.81 = 9.94 kgf
  • Jupiter 🪐 → 60 × 24.79 / 9.81 = 151.62 kgf

🚀 In summary

  • Mass (kg): Always the same, no matter the planet.
  • Weight (N): Changes with gravity.𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑁) = 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑘𝑔) × 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑚/𝑠²)
  • Relative weight (kgf): A practical way to express how weight changes on other planets using Earth as a reference.𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑘𝑔𝑓) = 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 (𝑁) ÷ 9.81
