What else can I help you with?
Is there more or less gravity on Mercury than Earth?
There is much less gravity on Mercury.
Would you weigh more or less on mercury than on earth?
You would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth due to its lower gravity. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
Because mercury is less massive than earth things there would weigh?
less on Mercury compared to Earth. This is due to the weaker gravitational pull of Mercury, which is only about 38% of the gravity on Earth. As a result, objects weigh less on Mercury because there is less force pulling them towards the planet's surface.
Does Jupiter have more or less gravity than Earth?
there is more gravity on Jupiter than on Earth.
Do you feel lighter or heavier on mercury?
More
What is the strength of gravity on mercury?
the gravitational force of the mercury is extremely less that is why there is no atmosphere around it. Improved answer: In fact the gravitational field is just under 40% of Earth's.
Does the earth have more gravity than mercury?
Yes, the bigger the planet the more gravity.
How many times more or less gravity than earth does mercury have?
You would weigh 38% of your current body weight.
Does mercury have more gravity than earth?
Gravity behaves exactly the same on Mercury as it does on Earth. The forces between Mercury and any other mass are proportional to the product of Mercury's mass and the other mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between Mercury's center and the other object's center. Mercury's size is about 38% as big as the Earth's size, which would place the center of an object on its surface closer to the planet's center, and cause a greater gravitational force. But its mass is only 5.5% of Earth's mass. So the force of gravity between Mercury and an object on its surface winds up being only about 37% of the gravitational force on the same object when it's on Earth's surface. That means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 37 pounds on Mercury.
How many times less gravity is in mercury than in earth?
The major reason is that the planet Mercury has far less mass than the Earth. All objects in the universe exert gravitational forces on each other, the amount of force is dependent on how massive they are, and how far away they are from each other.
How is gravity about the same on Mars and Mercury?
This does seem odd. Mars, with a mass that is about twice the mass of Mercury, has about the same surface gravity. Mars' mass is about .107 the mass of earth, and the mass of Mercury is about .055 the mass of earth. The surface gravity on Mars is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth, and the surface gravity of Mercury is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth as well. The difference is that the mean density of Mercury is about 5.43 grams per cubic centimeter, and the mean density of Mars is about 3.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Mercury is quite a bit more dense, so if you stand on Mercury you are much closer to the center of gravity of the planet. Mercury has a tiny slightly bit more gravity than mercury though.
Why does the weightyou havechange from planet to planet?
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.
