You are making it needlessly hard on yourself.  The planet has the same mass as the earth, and someone on it weight the same as on earth, therefore the surface of the planet is the same distance from its center as the earth radius, i.e. this planet has the same dimension as earth.\nSo, the radius of the planet is 6,372.797 km, same as earth's.\nYou don't need to compute anything.  The orbital velocity of the planet has nothing to do with it.\nIf the weight was different, you only need to scale it remembering that the weight would vary as an inverse of the square of the radius.

No matter where you are, weight and mass are different things.  Mass is a measurement of a quantity of matter, while weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on a given mass.  Mass is an inherent quality in an object that doesn't change, no matter where it is.  Weight can change depending on where the object is.  \n\nIf you were to choose a set of units where either your mass or the acceleration due to gravity were equal to 1 at some point on earth, then your mass and weight would have an equal value, but that would only be true in those units, for your mass, at that point on earth, and doesn't mean that the two concepts are equal. \n\nThe two links below give more detail about the difference bewteen weight and gravity.

Mass is a constant.  \n\nWeight depends on gravity.\n\nSo, your mass is the same on earth and on the moon,\nbut you would weigh one-sixth as much on the moon\nas you do here on earth.

Measurements. The acceleration of gravity is:\ng = G*m/R^2\nWhere G is the gravitational constant 6.67*10^-11 N*m^2/s^2, m is the mass of the planet, and R is the distance between yourself and the planet. For the surface of the Earth, m and R are approximately:\nMe = 5.97*10^24 kg\nRe = 6.38*10^6 m\nUsing this, you should get about 9.8 m/s^2.

If an object has mass, then it exerts gravity. The larger the mass the more gravity it exerts. Earth exerts gravity, but so does the moon, and the sun. The sun exerts a lot more gravity because it has more. Weight is a function of mass and gravity. So if you're asking about weight of earth, then in relation to what?

Mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity.\n\nIts weight on earth is 35N, and acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s2 ...  so its mass is 35 / 9.8 = 3.57Kg  \n\nOn the other planet its weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity for that planet.\n\nwe know its mass is 3.57Kg so we need to find the planets gravitational pull to multiply it by.\n\nwe know an object falls 50m in 5 secs\n\nso using    S= 1/2 a t^2\n\n                  50 = 1/2 x a x 25\n                 100 = 25a\n                  a= 4 m/s2\n\n\nSo to find the weight on the other planet   F=ma   = 3.57 x 4  = 14.3N

Earth does not have a weight, as weight is the expression of a force (such as gravity) on an object.\nEarth's Mass is 5.9742×10^24 kg\nEarth's Moon's Mass is 7.347673×10^22 kg or 0.0123 Earths

What do you weigh at the center of the earth? Zero, because the mass of the earth is pulling you equally in every direction.\n\nYour weight is greatest at sea level. Of course your weight decreases as you go to Mt. Everest, because you are now at a greater distance from the center. \n\nBut as you go down, your weight decreases for a different reason. Now there is mass of the earth above you pulling on you in an upward direction. That is why you weigh zero by the time you get to the center. \n\nIf you are on the surface of the earth or above, the earth's gravity acts as though it is concentrated at a point at the center of the earth. When you are INSIDE the earth, as in Death Valley, earth's gravity no longer acts that way.

The mass of earth is found as follows.\n\nThe acceleration due to gravity at a place is g. \ng = G M/R^2, where, G is gravitational constant, which is determined experimentally with two known masses.\n\nR is the radius of earth which we know by surveying the circumference of earth.\n\n M = 9.8 x 6400,000 x 6400, 000x / 6.673x10^ (-11) = 6x10^24kg.\n\nThe mass of Sun is found as follows.  \n\nWe determine the distance of Sun observing their angular diameters measured from different heights from earth. \n\nWe observe its period of rotation about the earth.\n\nNow using the formula ‘M = 4pi^2 R^3/G T^2’, M is found\n\n39.48 x (1.496x10^11) ^ 3/6.673x10^ (-11){365.25x24x60x60}^2= 1.989x10^30 kg.\n\nSince we know the mass of Sun, we can use only the period of rotation to find the mass without knowing the distance.\n\nAbout the mass of stars, I don’t know whether there is some way to find their mass.

On earth, mass and weight are equivalent, but in physics, it's more correct to use mass (since sometimes objects in physics problems are not on earth!)\n\nSo if the object weighs 1 kg, you can use 1 kg as its mass. One newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kg (mass) at a rate of 1 meter per second^2.

you cant really measure it.  the density and weight of different layers that we cannot reach from the surface makes it very difficult to weigh.

Earth's gravity accelerates objects at a rate of 9.8 m/s/s.  G is the gravitational constant.  You can figure this out by dropping any object, measuring the speed it was moving when it passes a certain point, and how long it took.\n\nForce = G * mass1 * mass2 /distance^2 is the equation that newton came up with explain how gravity worked.\n\nSince the mass of an object on the earth that you would drop to measure this is so small, we can ignore it, so we end up with the equation of \n\n9.8 = (G * Mass of Earth) / (Earth's radius ^2)\n\nThe earth's radius is about 6,360 km.  Convert that into meters and you get 6360000 meters.\n\nThe gravitational constant is a tricky thing to figure out but some guy named Cavendish figured it out.  Read about it http://www.leydenscience.org/physics/gravitation/cavend.htm\n\nNow we know that G = 6.67 x 10^-11 m^3/kg/s^2 so now plug in all the numbers and you get\n\n9.8 = (6.67 x 10^-11 * Earth's Mass) / 6360000^2\n\n6360000^2 = 4.04496 x 10^13\n\nso \n9.8 = (6.67 x 10^-11 * Earth's Mass) / 4.04496 x 10^13\n\nWe want to get Earth's Mass on it's own side so multiply both sides by 4.04496 x 10^13 and you get:\n\n4.04496 x 10^13 * 9.8 = 6.67 x 10^-11 * Earth's Mass\n\nDivide both sides by the gravitational constant of 6.67 x 10^-11 and you get \nEarth's Mass = (4.04496x10^13 * 9.8)/ 6.67 x 10^-11\n\nPlug that all into a scientific calculator and you get for the Earth's mass about\n5.94311964 x 10^24 kilograms\n\nAnd that's how they did it back in the 17th century.  Heh neato I figured out the mass of the earth.  Never did that before.

Weight is a force, but when something is weighed you actually measure it's mass assuming you are in an environment in which the force of gravity is constant (i.e., you're at a fixed location <radius from the center> on a planet or massive planetary mass).\n\nof course, one's mass can be approximated by W=mg at fixed radii from such planetary masses (like the earth, a massive asteroid, a superdense star, whatever...) if the force of gravity, g, is known at that radius.\n\nThere are 2 possible variables here - mass and the force of gravity.  Which one do you know?  usually an approximation for g is given.  Which one do you measure, then...that would be mass.

25 lbs\nThe distinction between mass and weight becomes obvious when we move away from the earth's surface. For example, on the surface of the Moon gravity is only about one sixth as strong as on the surface of the earth. A one kilogram mass is still a one kilogram mass – mass is an intrinsic property of the object. However, the weight of the object – the downwards force due to gravity – is only one sixth of what it is at the surface of the earth; that is, only one sixth of what we would expect one kilogram to weigh.

Approximately the mass of 2 billion solar masses.\n\np.s. Weight is a function of something in a gravitational field, what you really are asking about is mass.
