Isabelle Bauer · Answer 1

Lin is right but your mass does not change and your weight does. your weight changes because of the gravitational pull on earth comparing to another planet

Castaneda · Answer 2

Gravity=Gm1m2/r²

G=Gravitational constant

This equation describe the gravity between two objects, which is you and a planet.

if mass become greater, no matter of which object, the Gravity become bigger too.

So your weight will become greater.
