Go ahead, try it!
scale tippers CAN'T be wrong!
Your weight differs around the solar system because the gravitational attraction between you and the astronomical body you're standing on is relational to the mass of that astronomical body.
In other words, you'll weigh more on planets that have more mass than the Earth, and weigh less on planets that have less mass than the Earth.
Mass, is the amount of matter contained in a physical body. It is different than, but proportional to, weight.
