Yes they are. Every object that has mass follows the well known formulas
of gravity. Comets are no exception. Their orbits around the sun are perfectly
and completely described by the formulas of gravity.

Of course, you would not "weigh" much on the surface of a meteor. In fact,
if the meteor you're talking about is small enough, then relative to it, YOU're
the central body, and the meteor is wondering what the acceleration of gravity
is on YOUR surface. Out in empty space, if you could hold still long enough,
the little meteor could settle into an orbit around you.

What is the gravity percentage on Mars?
Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.
What is the gravity of Kepler 16b?
The surface gravity is 14.5 ms-2.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What is the scientific definition of gravity?
Gravity: The attraction between an object on the surface and the center of the earth.
What is the gravity of a meteor?
the results vary, since meteors are of all different sizes, but meteors have extremely little gravity.
What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".
Do all meteors impact on Earth's surface?
Not all meteors impact the surface of the earth. Many burn up in the atmosphere prior to impact. The majority of meteors that do reach the earth's surface usually impact desolate regions.
How do meteors fall to earth if there is no gravity in space?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is all pervasive, it is everywhere. It intensifies as you approach a mass.
Why aren't there many meteors in the tromosphere?
because it hase gravity
Why do comets fall?
Comets dont. Meteors do because of gravity
Why do meteors not move in an orbit?
Meteors do orbit the Sun, until they come so close to the Earth that the orbit is interrupted by the Earth's gravity.
Why aren't there many meteors in the troposhere?
Gravity and would burn up
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Why aren't there many meteors in the troposphere?
gravity and would burn up
Do meteors have satellites?
It is possible, but not likely. Meteors have relatively small masses, without a large gravity well. They tend to lose them because they are in motion.
What has caused all of the craters on the moons surface?
Space rocks (meteors) striking the surface.
