Gravitation answers to a description in Einstein's general theory in which spacetime itself is curved by the effects of gravity; the influence of gravity is such that planets tend towards an ideally spherical shape; although all known planets have a slight equatorial bulge (spherically oblate shape) due to their rotation.

What is the planet with the most gravitation?
Jupiter
Withch planet has the most gravitation?
Jupiter
Why does adding a second planet affect the orbit of the first planet?
The law of universal gravitation
What causes sea current?
planet rotation, the wind, the temperature and salinity differences and the gravitation of the moon. The depth contours, the shoreline and other currents influence the current's direction and strength.
How does the shape of a planet influence its temperature?
because depending on where the surface receives direct light, it affects the trend and biome
What two things influence newton's law of gravitation?
Mass and Distance
What is the shape of a planet's orbit and what does it contribute?
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
Why not only earth but all planets are spherical in shape?
One of the criteria to be a planet or even a dwarf planet is that the object has enough mass to gravitationally contract itself into a sphere. When the gravitation is high enough it overcome the rigidity of rock to hold a non-spherical shape. This is only a matter of degree of course as there are plenty of mountains on all planets that defy the general definition.
What would the mass of an astronaut with the weight of 80 kg be on a planet?
That depends on the planet. Gravitation on different planets varies. On planet Earth, you multiply by 9.8; the result is in Newtons.
If the planet has less gravitation pull does that effect the speed it orbits around the Sun?
No. A planet's gravitational pull is determined by the planet's mass. A planet's orbital speed is determined by the the mass of the Sun and the planet's distance from the Sun.
Does planet shape life or life shape the planet?
Both are true there is an interdependance.
Why doesn't the Sun change its shape?
because of its gravitation on itself same like as earth
