a 50 kg mass weight the most on the surface of sun because sun is more mass than earth, moon, Jupiter. The gravity of sun is largest.
a 50 kg mass weight the least on the surface of moon because the gravity on surface of moon is smallest
50 kg mass weighs from most to least
on surface of sun, surface of Jupiter, surface of earth and surface of moon.

Gravity would make the 50 kg mass weigh the most on the sun and the least on the moon.
According to the site listed below, "The mass of the sun is about 1,047 times that of Jupiter. And it would take 333,000 planets of Earth's size to come close to equaling the sun's mass. Because of this mass, the force of gravity on the sun is much greater than it is on any of the other planets. If we were to send something to the sun that weighs100 pounds, and were to weigh it there, it would not weigh 100 pounds, but 2,800 pounds. "

Jupiter. It has the most mass, therefore the greatest gravity.
Wow, heavy, man.

Jupiter ... <-- should be the sun - didn't notice it as one of the items on the list.

MOST - Sun (..50 kg = 845 kg..)
LEAST - Pluto (..50 kg = 2 kg..)
