    W = mg

    Explanation:

    Sorry if i get you right, we calculate weight by simply multiplying mass by the gravity on the surface of the planet.

    Weight = Mass x Surface Gravity

    W = m * g

    So, if you know your weight on Earth

    and the surface gravity on Earth, you

    can calculate your mass. You can then

    calculate your weight on any other

    planet by using the surface gravity of

    that planet in the same equation.

    If you know the mass on like g = 9.81 m/s² for planet earth.

    Goodluck
