Venus Weight Formula
W_venus = W_earth × (g_venus / g_earth)
- W_venus: your weight on Venus (same unit as input)
- W_earth: your weight on Earth
- g_venus: surface gravity on Venus, 8.87 m/s²
- g_earth: surface gravity on Earth, 9.80665 m/s²
The ratio g_venus / g_earth is about 0.9046, so a Venus weight is roughly 90.5% of the matching Earth weight. To go the other direction, divide instead of multiply: W_earth = W_venus / 0.9046. Mass does not change between planets; only the weight (the force gravity exerts on that mass) does.
Reference Values and Quick Conversions
Surface gravity on Venus is close to Earth's, which makes Venus the most "Earth-like" planet for weight, even though its surface conditions are not.
| Body | Surface gravity (m/s²) | Weight ratio vs Earth |
|---|---|---|
| Earth | 9.807 | 1.000 |
| Venus | 8.87 | 0.905 |
| Mars | 3.71 | 0.378 |
| Moon | 1.62 | 0.166 |
| Jupiter | 24.79 | 2.528 |
| Earth weight | Venus weight |
|---|---|
| 100 lb | 90.5 lb |
| 150 lb | 135.7 lb |
| 180 lb | 162.8 lb |
| 200 lb | 180.9 lb |
| 70 kg | 63.3 kg |
| 90 kg | 81.4 kg |
Example and FAQ
Example. You weigh 165 lb on Earth. Your Venus weight is 165 × 0.9046 = 149.3 lb. In newtons, that is your mass (165 / 2.2046 = 74.84 kg) times Venus gravity (8.87 m/s²), or about 663.8 N.
Why is Venus weight so close to Earth weight? Venus has about 81.5% of Earth's mass and a slightly smaller radius. The two effects nearly cancel, leaving surface gravity within about 10% of Earth's.
Does my mass change on Venus? No. Mass stays the same. Only the gravitational force on that mass changes, which is what a scale reads as weight.
Would a bathroom scale actually work on Venus? A spring scale would read the Venus weight directly. A balance scale, which compares masses, would read the same as on Earth.
