dehydration effects on different planets change weight

Detailed explanation-1: -Our mass is the amount of matter that we consist of. This mass does not change when we change planets. However, if we went from Earth to Mars, our weight would change because Mars has less gravity than Earth. Gravity is a force pulling matter together.
Detailed explanation-2: -You actually exert a gravitational force on the Earth, but because your mass is many times smaller than the Earth’s mass, your pull is much less than the Earth’s. Gravity is measured as how fast objects accelerate towards each other. The average gravitational pull of the Earth is 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2).
Detailed explanation-3: -The planets in our solar system all have a different mass. Planets that are less massive than Earth have less gravitational pull than Earth. Mars has less mass than Earth so if you were to weigh yourself on the surface of Mars – you would weigh a lot less.
