At their respective surfaces, the acceleration of gravity, and therefore the
weight of each unit mass, is 2.28 times as great on Mercury compared to
its value on the moon. The moon's is 43.9% as great compared to Mercury's.
Mercury . . . 3.697 m/s2 . . . 37.7% compared to Earth
Moon . . . 1.623 m/s2 . . . 16.55% compared to Earth

∙ 12y agosuns gravity is about 28 times stronger compared to earth's gravity, but earths' gravity is 6 times stronger than the moon. Do 6x28

∙ 7y agoYes. The surface gravity on Mercury is about twice as strong as it is on the moon.

Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
How is gravity generated on the moon?
All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planets or a moons gravity and had been pulled away from the suns gravity true or false?
false, meters are asteroids in the earth atmosphere
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
How many moons does the suns have?
there are about 5.3 billion suns in our solar system, each containing about 4 moons
How many suns or moons does Saturn have?
One sun, 62 moons.

Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
How many moons and suns does mercury have?
it has nun
How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
What are the suns natural satellites?
there are none. the sun has no moons.
