A body of mass m has weight
F = GMm/r²
on the surface of the Earth, where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and r is it's radius.
If the weight is to be halved, then we have
1/2 F = 1/2 GMm/r² = (1/√2)² GMm/r² = GMm/(√2 r²)
so the distance between the body and the planet's center needs to be
√2 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m ≈ 9.1 × 10⁶ m
