What is Uranuses gravity like?
If you could stand on the surface of Uranus (however you cant) you would 89% the force of gravity that you experience on Earth. Another way to look at it is that objects dropped towards Uranus will accelerate towards the planet at 8.69 m/s2.
What is the force of gravity in Uranus?
The gravitational field near the "surface" is about 8.69 meters/second2 (= 8.69 newton/kilogram). For comparison, Earth's gravity field near its surface is about 9.82 meters/second2. Please note that the gas planets, including Uranus, don't really have a surface like Earth does.
Can you tour the planet Uranus?
wish i could
What planet is light that could flow in water?
Uranus
How could you weigh more on earth than Uranus when Uranus is bigger?
The more gravity a planet has, the more you will weigh on that planet. The amount of gravity that you feel depends on two things: the mass of the planet and the distance you are away from the center. Uranus has about 14 times the mass of earth, but also about 4 times the radius. Because you are some much farther away from the center of the planet, the force of gravity you feel is less. The effect of mass of a planet on the gravity of that planet is equal to the effect of the radius squared. In the case of Uranus, the radius squared is about 16 times that of Earth's radius squared, and the mass is about 14 times that of Earth. An approximation of your weight on Uranus based on these numbers would be: (Weight on Earth)*(14/16) (You can calculate the gravitational pull between two objects using the formula Fg = G(m1m2)/d2 where Fg is the force of gravity, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, d is the distance between objects, G is 6.67x10-11, and the units are newtons, kilograms, and meters.)
Is there more gravity on Earth than on Jupiter?
The planet Uranus is more massive than the Earth and has a stronger gravitational field. So you could say that Uranus has more gravity.
Would a person be squashed by the extreme gravity on Uranus?
No. The 'surface' gravity of neptune is only 1.14g, due to the low density of the planet. Surface pressure may 'squash' a person there though, although they would be frozen from the near 0K temprature. (approx -218C)
What does the name of planet Uranus mean?
Uranus is from the Ancient Greek ouranós meaning "sky, heaven".
How much would you weigh on uranus if you weighed 70 pounds?
You could weigh 62 pounds on the planet Uranus.
If Earth's gravity is 1 what is Uranus' gravity?
You are suggesting a dimensionless scale in order to compare gravities, but you are leaving the nature of the scale a little fuzzy. However, making a comparison of Earth's and Uranus' gravities, we find that the surface gravity of Earth (.997 g's) and Uranus (.886 g's) are very close. To the nearest unit of your scale, we could conclude that the gravity of Uranus is equal to 1. Uranus is much more massive than Earth; about 14.5 times as massive. But Uranus is much less dense, with a volume of about 63 Earths. This accounts for the surface gravity being slightly less than that on earth; an earth explorer on the surface would be much farther from the planet's center of gravity than on earth. The explorer would want to do plenty of homework before descending to the surface. Uranus is a 'gas' giant, but it probably is more icy slush than gas.
What would you wear on Uranus?
There currently is no space suit that could overcome the high gravity of Uranus.
Explain how a larger planet could have a smaller surface face gravity then a smaller planet or why it could not?
The strength of gravity from a given object is directly proportional to the object's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. So, if we double an object's mass the gravity is double. If we triple the mass the gravity is tripled. By contrast if we double the distance we end up with one quarter the gravity. If we triple the distance we end up with only one ninth the gravity.The formula for the strength of gravity is: g=G*M/r^2"G" is the Newtonian gravitational constant, "M" is the mass of the object, and "r" is the distance tot he center of mass.In the case of the surface gravity of a planet, the distance to the center of mass is the planet's radius. So if two planets have the same mass but are of different sizes, the larger planet will actually have weaker surface gravity. In most cases a larger planet will have a greater mass than a smaller one, but not always as planets vary in density. Event if the larger planet is more massive, the larger size can still result in weaker gravity.A perfect example would be a comparison between Earth and Uranus. Uranus is about 4 times the radius and about 14.5 times the mass of Earth. From these figures we find that the gravity on Uranus is 0.906 times or 90.6% of Earth's surface gravity.
