    Well I don't know!

    Let's work it out:

    Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity)

    117.6 N = (12 kg) x (gravity)

    Gravity on Planet A = (117.6 N) / (12 kg)

    = 9.8 m/s² exactly

    The gravity on Planet-A is so close to Earth gravity

    that nobody could ever tell the difference without

    making sensitive measurements.

    They are essentially equal.
