Now for a cool Astronomy Moment

Let's say you weigh about 95 pounds on Earth.
Check out this list on how much you'll weigh on other planets
  • Moon: 15 pounds
  • Pluto: 3 Pounds
  • Jupiter: 222 Pounds (like whoa!)
  • Mercury: 27 Pounds
  • Venus: 86 Pounds
  • Saturn: 87 Pounds
  • Mars: 36 Pounds
You see the mass of the planets effect the gravitational pull like for Jupiter it's a gas giant but it's mass is much heavier compared to Earth.
