I'm not talking about looking at a chalkboard full of equations, I'm talking about doing the math yourself and getting the same answers. Equations like this (files.catbox.moe). Try doing that equation for the Earth and your body's mass with a distance of 6.378 x 106 meters, but solve for mass (kg). It turns out that for you to be 90 kg the Earth has to have a mass of around 5.972 x 1024 kg and you have to be 6.378 million meters from the Earth's center of mass. That's convenient since it matches up with a roughly spherical ball almost 8,000 miles in diameter.
