The answer is Earth's surface gravity is a bit stronger than Uranus's.

Uranus has an acceleration due to gravity of about 8.7m/s², whereas Earth has an acceleration due to gravity of about 9.8m/s².

The approximate conversion for weight from Earth to Uranus would be

Earth weight x 0.889.

If you weighed 100lb on Earth you would weigh about 88.9lb on Uranus.

Source: NASA's "Planetary Fact Sheet".

Uranus has a mass somewhere around 8.7 * 10^26 kg, which is about 140 times the mass of Earth. However, its radius is also much larger than Earth's (about 8.1 times that of Earth). When you plug these numbers into the Universal Gravitation Law equation, you get an acceleration due to gravity of about 7.8 m/s^2. Earth's acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Thus, Uranus's gravity is somewhat weaker than Earth's.
Uranus' gravity compared to earth is 89% of what you would expreience on Earth.

The mass of planetary objects is extremely easy to compare to earth, because the mass of earth is used as a unit of measurement for such things. Uranus, for example, is measured as 14.54 Earth mass.

No. Uranus's gravity is 8.7m/s2, which is less than Earth's gravitational force of 9.8m/s2.
