INTERACTIVE GRAVITY EXPERIMENT

Your Weight on Other Planets

Enter your Earth weight, then choose a planet to see how gravity changes the reading on a normal Earth-calibrated scale.

YOUR EQUIVALENT WEIGHT ON MARS28.3 kg

About 38% of your Earth-scale weight

Wait—does your mass actually change?

No! Your mass stays constant. Gravity changes your weight, which is a force. The number above is a familiar kilogram-equivalent scale reading, based on approximate surface gravity ratios. On gas giants, “surface” gravity means a conventional atmospheric reference level.
