Gravity is yet another intriguing topic that fascinates a lot of people. Why is gravity is so alluring? Why is it so beguiling and appealing? That's due to the fact that Gravity is no less than magic or wizardry. It affects how our seasons change, how our days and nights alternate, how much long should be the year or a day or what is your weight?
Yes, Gravity affects weight as you might already be aware of. But What would be the weight of you on each planet? Let's find out.
Due to the effect of Gravity, our weight on different planets would surely be different.
The question is WHY?
Using some Newtonian math, we can figure out how much you'd weigh on each planet in our solar system, plus the moon, sun, and Pluto (nope, still not a planet). Let's take the sun as an example, since its hefty mass makes it a fun one. The sun's gravitational factor relative to the Earth (more on the specifics of that here) is 27.9. Just multiply that number by your weight, and voila! You have what your weight would be on the sun, assuming you're not instantly vaporized in our fantastical world of pretend.

WHY IT HAPPENS?
Alright, so first you need to have an imagination that we live in a world so connected that we can travel to other planets and lets just suppose for one moment, that there is air, water, food and everything on each planet so we don't die once we land. As you would be whirling through the space boosting from one planet to another, one part of space to another, you would yourself feel major/minor differences in your weight. Sometimes, you would feel you have put on weight but the other times you would feel that you are losing those calories. Nothing actually is happening as weight is not changing due to your MASS but it is changing due to the changing gravity. Our weight depends on two things, Mass and Gravity. As mass remains constant ((almost)) but gravity keeps on changing with you travelling around the space, your weight would surely be dynamic.

You guys might be wondering, why the heck is this information even important or relevant? Well as far as it seems silly to know how much would you weigh on each planet, this information helps a lot in different implications. The colonizing of moon and sending an astronaut to MARS is getting real by every passing minute and that is where this info plays its part.
