What is Weight on Other Planets?
The Weight on Other Planets calculation tells you your weight on mars from a few simple inputs. The figure you are solving for here is the weight on mars.
The Weight on Other Planets formula
The core formula is:
Weight on Mars = Your weight on Earth × 0.377Here is what each input means:
- Your weight on Earth — a value measured in kg. Example: 70 kg.
How to calculate it step by step
- Write down the your weight on earth (for example, 70 kg).
- Apply the formula above to get your weight on mars.
- Double-check the result with the Weight on Other Planets Calculator.
Worked examples
Example 1
| Input / Output | Value |
|---|---|
| Your weight on Earth | 70 kg |
| Weight on Mars | 26.39 |
| Weight on the Moon | 11.62 |
| Weight on Jupiter | 165.20 |
| Weight on Venus | 63.49 |
With your weight on earth of 70 kg, the weight on mars works out to 26.39.

Tips for an accurate result
- Keep your units consistent — mixing, say, months with years or grams with kilograms is the most common source of error.
- Round only at the very end. Rounding inputs early can shift the final answer noticeably.
- Re-run the numbers whenever an input changes, rather than estimating from an old result.
