Because your weight is proportional to the product of your mass and the mass of

whatever large body you happen to be standing on at the moment. The number you're

used to seeing is your weight when the other body is the earth. If the other body is not

the earth but something different, then your weight is different.

What is your weight on planet Jupiter if your weight on earth is 42kg?

If you weighed 42kg on Earth, you would weigh 99.2kg on Jupiter. EDIT: Actually, this is not correct, since kg is a unit of mass. Mass would be the same in both locations. 42kg would be 42kg. The multiplier for weight though, is about 2.35. If you had a mass of 42kg, you would *weigh* about 412 N. Your WEIGHT on Jupiter would then be about 967 N.

Jupiter. However, it would need to be MUCH bigger. It would need about 80 times its present mass to become even the smallest possible red dwarf star. Even if you count "brown dwarfs", Jupiter would still need more than ten times its present mass just to be the smallest brown dwarf.
