How Much Would a 200 Pound Man Weigh on Jupiter?
Jupiter's gravity is 2.364 times Earth's — a 200 lb man would register about 473 lb on the giant planet.
At a glance
The Answer: About 472.8 Pounds
Jupiter's surface gravity is 24.79 m/s², or 2.364 times Earth's. Multiply Earth weight by 2.364: a 200 lb man would weigh 472.8 lb on Jupiter. For a 90.7 kg man, a Jovian scale would read about 214 kg. Every pound on Earth becomes nearly two and a half pounds there.

Scaling Other Body Weights to Jupiter
| Earth weight | Jupiter weight |
|---|---|
| 120 lb (54.4 kg) | 283.7 lb (128.7 kg) |
| 150 lb (68.0 kg) | 354.6 lb (160.8 kg) |
| 180 lb (81.6 kg) | 425.5 lb (193.0 kg) |
| 200 lb (90.7 kg) | 472.8 lb (214.4 kg) |
Why Jupiter's Gravity Is So Strong
Jupiter holds about 318 times Earth's mass. Even though its radius is 11 times larger — which weakens surface gravity by the square of the distance from the center — the enormous mass wins out, leaving a surface pull 2.364 times ours. It is the strongest planetary gravity in the solar system, though the Sun dwarfs it at 27 times Earth's.
You Could Not Actually Stand There
"Surface" on Jupiter is a convention: the planet is gas all the way down, so 24.79 m/s² is measured at the cloud tops where pressure equals one Earth atmosphere. If you could stand on a platform there, a 200 lb man would feel like he was carrying an extra 273 lb — walking would be nearly impossible, and his heart would strain to pump blood uphill to his brain. Neptune, despite being a gas giant too, is gentler at just 1.125 times Earth gravity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Jupiter have the strongest gravity of any planet?
Yes. At 2.364 times Earth's gravity, Jupiter tops the planetary list. The Sun is far stronger at about 27 times Earth's, but it is a star, not a planet.
Would a 200 lb man really weigh 472.8 lb on Jupiter?
On a scale at the cloud tops, yes. But Jupiter has no solid surface, so the number is theoretical — you could never actually stand there.
What would a 200 lb man weigh on the Sun?
Multiply by 27.01: about 5,402 lb. The Sun's surface gravity is 274 m/s², by far the strongest in the solar system.
Would my mass change on Jupiter?
No. Mass stays at 90.7 kg everywhere. Only weight — the gravitational force on that mass — rises to the equivalent of 472.8 lb.
