You would have the most quantity of gold if it weighed 1 N on the

1) Moon. 2) Earth. 3) planet Jupiter. 4) would be the same on each. This is because 5) on the Moon a greater mass of gold is required for the gravitational force to equal 1 N. 6) weight and mass are directly proportional to each other. 7) gravitational force per mass is greatest on the most massive planet.
