Pluto has a mass that is only about 0.00218 times the mass of Earth.
The mass of Pluto is about 0.2% of Earth's mass. To equal the mass of Earth, you would need about 500 Plutos.
Pluto has a mass of about 1.31 x 10^22 kilograms and a volume of about 6.39 x 10^9 cubic kilometers.
Because it has less mass than earth
Due to the mass or size of Pluto compared to Earth, about 2/3 the size of our moon, the gravitational pull of Pluto is greatly weaker than Earth's.
Your mass, in grams, on Pluto, will be the same as your mass on earth or anywhere else. Your weight cannot be measured in grams.

Earth has a much greater mass than Pluto does, and therefore has stronger gravity.
There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.

No. Pluto has less mass and it is further away, so the force is a lot less. Pluto's mass is only about 0.0022 times the Earth's mass and Pluto is (on average) about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth. So, according to Newton's law of gravity, the gravitational force attracting Pluto compared with Earth is only about 0.0022/392. That's only about 1.4 x 10-6 times the force felt by the Earth. The force on the Earth is 3.542 x 1022 Newtons, ±3.4% due to the elliptical orbit. The force on Pluto is 5.001 x 1016 Newtons, ±50%.
Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.
Because it has less mass than earth
Anything that has mass has gravity. Pluto, which has a mass of 0.0125x1024kg, has a force of gravity that is equal to 0.58m/s2 - a value that is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
Due to the mass or size of Pluto compared to Earth, about 2/3 the size of our moon, the gravitational pull of Pluto is greatly weaker than Earth's.
An object that weighs 100 pounds on Pluto would weigh 262 pounds on Earth, assuming the same mass of the object. This is because weight is proportional to the gravitational force acting on an object, and the gravitational force is stronger on Earth than on Pluto.
