In the original editions of HW, Nita's weights on other planets (mentioned in the scene set in the Hayden Planetarium) are grossly misstated. These will be corrected in future editions.

Since Nita is a little on the slender side but not too slender, 110 pounds / 50kg seems right for her at age 13. So elsewhere in the Solar System she would weigh:

  • 41.5 pounds / 18.9 kg on Mercury
  • 99.7 pounds / 45.3 kg on Venus
  • 18.2 pounds / 8.3 kg on the Moon
  • 41.4 pounds / 18.8 kg on Mars
  • 260 pounds / 118.2 kg on Jupiter
  • 117 pounds / 53 kg on Saturn
  • 97.7 pounds / 44.4 kg on Uranus
  • 123 pounds / 56.2 kg on Neptune
  • 7.3 pounds / 3.3 kg on Pluto
