How do we know our weight would be different on other planets?

• Our mass would stay the same on whatever planet we are on.

• Our weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an individual object, which would vary on objects' of different masses.

• The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force and planets have different mass and different gravitational force.

• All of the above are correct.
