    The weight of anything is

    (the thing's mass) times (gravity in the place where the thing is located).

    Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s².

    90 kg of mass weighs (90 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) = 882 Newtons on Earth.

    Gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s².

    The same 90 kg weighs (90 kg) · (1.62 m/s²) = 146 Newtons on the Moon.

    Gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s².

    The same 90 kg of mass weighs (90 kg) · (3.7 m/s²) = 333 Newtons on Mars.
