It is more accurate to say that more massive planets have stronger gravity. If a planet had the same mass as Earth but a larger radius (i.e. it is less dense) surface gravity would be weaker, as the strength of gravity depends on both an objects mass and the distance from its center.
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Gas planets have mor planets then rocky planets because rocky planets are like earth. Gas planets are just difrent in there own way. If im wrong tell me but im pretty sure that's why. they are larger so the gravity captures more satalites
Not always. The force of gravity is given by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: F=(Gm1m2)/r2 So if a planet had twice the mass of the earth, and the same radius, gravity would be twice as strong. However, if you had a huge planet that weighed the same as the earth (let's say it had a radius 3x greater), then gravity would be 9 times weaker at the surface. The reason big planets like Jupiter have so much gravity is becuase they have A LOT more mass than the earth does.
Gravity is directly related to mass. More mass, more gravity. Less mass, less gravity.
The outer 4 planets have many more moons than the 4 inner ones. (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth only have a total of three, whereas Jupiter and Saturn have more than 60 each.) The "outer planets" of our solar system (the 4 gas giants) are much larger than the "inner planets". They also have more space between their orbits, and therefore a larger number of small bodies (some of which were captured as moons). The gravitational effect of the Sun is lower, so satellites can orbit at greater distances without being destabilized.
Giant, or Jovian planets do not have any discernable surface as they are comprised mostly of gases and are more like a liquid inside then solid. Also, these planets are a lot larger then the inner terrestrial planets and have much more gravity. The closest thing that would resemble gravity like the earth would be the moons of the large planets. These are also much smaller then the earth and would be a fraction of the earth.
Generally speaking, the bigger or more massive a planet it, the more gravity it has, since gravity and mass are related. the small planets such as Mars and Mercury have a weaker gravity, while the larger planets have a strong gravitational field.

Because since the outer planets are bigger then they have more gravity, drawing more objects toward it.
Earth is hafly big, so it has gravity. Larger, it has more gravity. Smaller, it has less gravity.
Because since the outer planets are bigger then they have more gravity, drawing more objects toward it.
All planets with more mass than earth have more gravity than it. So all of the gas giants have far more gravity than Earth.
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Other planets have more or less gravity than Earth, so the energy needed to move things around is also more or less.
