The force of gravity of Earth is 9.8 meters per second per second (9.8 m/s*s). However if one is standing on the surface of Mars the gravity there is only 3.8 m/s*s. Gravity of a planet can be determined based on knowing the planetary mass, radius between the person and the core, and by using the constant of 6.67*00000000010* Newtons·meters/kg squared).

Venus and Saturn have the most similar gravity to Earth, and Jupiter has the most different. The ratios are Mercury 0.378, Venus 0.907, Mars 0.377, Jupiter 2.36, Saturn 0.916, Uranus 0.889 and Neptune 1.12.

Gravity is a function of mass - the greater the mass, the greater the gravity. The sun's mass makes it's gravitational pull strong enough to keep 8 planets, some at distances of over a billion miles - bound to it, as well as the asteroids, the cometary nuclei and the spherical Oort cloud, which is an entire light year from the sun. Earth's gravity is a tiny fraction of this, of course.

Well, Pluto's so small, it basically isn't a planet(this was decided by a majority of what today's Astronomers voted). Though being the farthest planet away from the sun in our solar system makes it the coldest planet there is that we know of. Though because of it's extremely low temperature, the metals that are on and in the planet are very light and fragile, weakening their magnetic pull on things. Therefore, Pluto's gravity is weaker than ours, and will undoubtedly keep getting weaker.

Gravity is exactly the same, follows the same laws, and exhibits the same behavior

on Earth, on the Sun, on all of the planets, and everywhere else in the universe

that we can observe.

In every place we can see, the force of gravity between two masses is proportional

to the product of the masses, inversely proportional to the square of the distance

between their centers, the constant of proportionality is the same everywhere, and

both masses feel the same force toward the other one.

Because of the difference in their masses and sizes, an object on the "surface"

of the Sun weighs about 27.9 times as much as it does on the Earth's surface.

In other words, a 200-pound man, if he could somehow avoid being vaporized,

would weigh 5,580 pounds on the sun.

the gravity on other planets is different than that on Earth. For example, the gravity on Mercury is 38 percent of that on Earth. The gravity on Saturn is 91 percent of that on Earth.

The moon has no gravity but the rocket lands on it How?

The moon has gravity, all mass in the universe has gravity, but the moon being much smaller than the Earth it has less gravity compared to it, about 16% of the Earth's gravity.


Compared to the size of the earth the Jovian planets are?

The Jovian planets are all much larger than Earth. See related link for a size comparison


Do you only have gravity on earth?

No. All planets, moons, and stars have gravity. Techincally, anything with mass has gravity, but it is only noticeable with very large objects.


What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?

The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).


Is it true that the sun's gravity keeps planets in their orbits?

Yes, the gravity of the sun causes all celestial bodies to orbit around.

Why don't any other planets have any air and gravity?

All planets have gravity- Some more than Earth, some less. Other planets that are large enough do have air- but not made up of the same gasses as Earth.


Is the sun small or massive?

The sun is MASSIVE compared to all of the planets. The sun is SO HUGE, that if only it had gravity, it could pull every single planet in our solar system to a fiery death. ------------------------------------------ Correction: The gravity of the sun is the only thing keeping the planets in orbit. The sun is massive indeed compared to the Earth, but it is only an intermediate-sized star.
