What would be the weight of 22.0kg dog at the equator on Saturn's surface?
(Saturn's mass equals 5.69 X 10^26kg, Saturn's equatorial radius equals 6.03 X 10^7m, Earths mass equals 5.97 X 10^24)

Weight= GMs*Md/radius^2
what number goes into M and d?
Ms is the mass of Saturn, Md is mass of the dog. Are you not familiar with the Law of Gravitation?
d is the distance the dog is from the center of Saturn (ie, radius).

Calculate the gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. The mass of Jupiter is 19000×1023 kg. The distance between them is 77.8×1010 m.
