Larger masses exert stronger gravitational forces, so gravity on Jupiter is much stronger than that of Earths.

Due to Jupiter's larger size (its the largest planet in our solar system) jupiter has more gravity. It has about 2.5 times the gravity of earth therefore the acceleration due to gravity is 26 m/s/s.

Jupiter has the strongest gravitational pull of any object in our solar system except the Sun itself.

Compared to Earth, Jupiter has a mass 317 times the mass of Earth, so an object at some distance from Jupiter would feel 317 times the force of gravitational attraction to Jupiter as it would if it were the same distance from Earth.

Though Jupiter has no surface that we can see, the force of gravity at the outer edge of the gas giant is only 2.5 times more than on the surface of Earth, but then the edge of the gas giant Jupiter is about ten times further from the center of Jupiter than the surface of the Earth is from the Earth's center.

Yes. Jupiter has a much greater mass, so at the same distance from either planet, the gravity of Jupiter would be much greater. This is why Jupiter affects the other planets that orbit the Sun. Fortunately, the Sun's gravity is even stronger, even at its great distance.

Since the formation of the solar system, the planets have assumed orbits that reflect the balance between the Sun's pull and the pull each planet has on the other. So the orbits are currently stable and not changing to any great degree.

The numerical value (2.85 g) for Jupiter's gravity is misleading. That is the pull exerted at the top of its cloud layers, compared to Earth's surface gravity(1g). But Jupiter has 318 times the mass of Earth. At 71000 km from Earth's center of mass, Earth exerts less than 1/300th of the pull of Jupiter at its cloud tops.

If it comes really close it might do but probably not in our lifetime anyway...

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 22.88 m/s^2, Earth's is 9.81m/s^2. Jupiter's is more than twice as strong as Earth's.

he has high gravity because u will float in space or blow up without a mask

It's 2.5 x that of Earth.

Every speck of mass in the universe is attracted to every other speck of mass

on account of gravity. Jupiter has quite a bit of mass.

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.


What planet has the biggest moon Jupiter earth venus or mars?

The acceleration of gravity depends on how far you arefrom the center of the object.If you stand on the surface of each one, then Jupiter isthe strongest, followed by Earth, Mars, and the Moonbeing the weakest.


What planet has the most gravity beside earth?

Jupiter and Neptune are the only planets in our Solar System that have more gravity than the Earth. Jupiter's gravity is about 236% that of the Earth, and Neptune's gravity is about 112% that of the Earth. Edit: Because of uncertainties and different definitions you can get data that says Saturn and/or Uranus also have slightly stronger gravity than Earth's.


Is Jupiter have stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

If you could do the measurements at the same distance from both planets, you'd find that the gravitational forces between you and Jupiter would be about 318 times as strong as the forces between you and the Earth.
