How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
- Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = mg); g on Earth = 9.80665 m/s² (standard gravity).
Method and assumptions
A bathroom scale shows weight as if gravity were Earth’s standard 9.80665 m/s². On another world the reading scales with its surface gravity. Values for the gas giants are at the cloud tops; Pluto’s is approximate.
