In this activity you will get a feeling for how much you, or a hypothetical being, would weigh on the surface of other worlds. Since you have read about Newton's Law of Gravity, this is an interesting activity to do, as we we'll be thinking about our Solar System, exoplanets (planets around other stars) and stars made of exotic matter such as white dwarfs and neutron stars, later in the course.
