Mars weight calculator: your weight on every planet

On Mars, a scale would read about 38% of your Earth weight. Enter your weight once to compare Mars with all eight planets — your mass stays the same, but local gravity changes what the scale reads.

Quick answers

Planet weight calculator: the useful numbers first.

These are relative scale readings using Earth = 1.00. The calculator above updates the same ratios for any kg or lb value you enter.

Mars

About 38% of Earth weight

A 150 lb Earth reading becomes about 57 lb on Mars. A 70 kg Earth reading becomes about 26.6 kg on a Mars-calibrated scale.

Jupiter

About 2.53× Earth weight

Jupiter has the strongest surface gravity of the eight planets in this comparison, even though its huge radius keeps the multiplier far below its mass ratio.

Formula

Earth reading × gravity ratio

For a familiar scale reading, multiply your Earth value by the planet's gravity relative to Earth. Mass itself does not change when you move between planets.

What's simplified

Why isn't this just "bigger planet, more gravity"?

01

Density matters too

Saturn is bigger than Earth but less dense than water — its surface gravity (1.07×) is barely more than Earth's, while much smaller Mercury and much larger Neptune land close together too.

02

"Surface" is fuzzy on gas giants

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have no solid surface — these numbers use the gravity at the visible cloud tops.

Orbits

Why don't planets fall into the Sun?

Gravity's other job: keeping planets in orbit instead of pulling them straight in.
