How do you find your weight on another planet?

Multiply your Earth weight by that place's gravity factor. On the sheet, a 90 lb student on Mars is 90 × 0.38, or 34.2 lb.

Does your mass change on another planet?

No. Mass is how much matter you have, and it stays the same everywhere. Only weight changes, because gravity is different from place to place.
