    High jump records would not last long on this planet.

    F_e is your weight on earth.

    2 * (r_e) is the radius of the planet you move to

    r_e us the radius of the earth.

    F_n is your weight on the new planet.

    F_n / F_e = (2*r_e) ^2 / (r_e) ^2

    F_n = 4 * F_e

    See if you can figure out all the cancellations if you start with F_e = G * test_mass * M_earth / (r_e^2)
