Gravity (g)= (GM)/R^2, where G = Universal gravitational constant, whose value is 6.67 X 10^(-11) NM^2/kg^2; M = Mass of heavenly body and R = Radius of heavenly body. Now, As the radius of moon is accordingly less than the radius of the earth, the square of radius will be very less and the mass is also lesser than that of earth, so it won't affect so much. Hence, The moon's gravity is one sixth of earth's gravity as Radius of moon is 1738 km, whereas the radius of Earth is 6371 km, and mass of earth is 6 × 10^24 and mass of moon is 7.36 × 10^22 kg.
our natural satellite aka the moon! speaking of the moon when it is directly over head in the sky, you weigh less on earth (not mass wise) # why we have high low tides!! gravity of the moon counteracts the earth's!!
what does gravity do in 28 days
because of the gravity
Yes, approximately.
mars
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.
The reason that you would weigh less on the moon is that the moon's gravitational force is less than that of Earth. The law of gravity dictates that all bodies of matter attract each other with a force proportional to their mass. The moon's mass is only about 1/6 that of Earth, so gravity's pull is proportionally weaker as a result.Note that your mass would not change, only your weight, which is purely a function of the force of gravity. If you were to run into a wall on the moon, it would be no different than hitting the same wall on earth, as your mass (and therefore inertia) still result in the same force of impact.
The acceleration due to gravity of Uranus at its "surface" is about 8.69 m/s2. On Earth is it 9.8 m/s2. This means that Earth's gravity is about 13% larger than Uranus's gravity. Uranus is more massive than Earth, but mass is only half of what makes a gravitational pull. Uranus's gravitational pull is smaller that Earth's because it's "surface" is farther away from it's center.
From the unimaginable force of gravity. As you fell into a black hole, first you would be torn in half, then that half would be torn in half, then that half would be torn in half, so on and so on all the way down to every atom in your body.

answer is mars but all planets have a gravitation effect on the earth even gas planets
I'm not sure if it's half or not, probably less, but the only possibility would be Mercury. True. Mercury is the only one. Gravity on Mercury's surface is 37% of what it is on Earth. Except for Mars, where it's 38% of its value on Earth. Mercury and Mars are the only ones. Except for Pluto, where it's 4% of its value on Earth.
Planets with a smaller surfae gravity than Earth are Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Uranus.
The force that pulls everything towards the earth is called Gravity,but you only have half of the story.Gravity is responsible for the two forces that pull an object and the earthtowards each other.
g=Gx4(pi)/3xr3x(rho)/r2=Gx4x(pi)x(rho)xr/3Now if the radius is halved then acceleration will also halve.
The reaction force exerted by a ball on the earth is hard to see because the earth is much heavier than the ball. It the ball were as heavy as the earth the earth will do feel the reaction. A basketball weighs about 1 and a half pounds, the Earth weighs 13,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds. It's sort of like asking why you don't feel the blow when a mosquito lands on you. The difference being that you only weigh 30,000,000 times more than the mosquito while the Earth weighs many, many, many, many, many times more than the ball.
No, the moon's surface gravity is only one sixth (1/6) of the earth's.
No. The strength of gravity on Mars is less than half of that on Earth.
You're half-way there. The mutual, equal gravitational forces between the Earth and Sun maintain the Earth's stable, closed, elliptical orbit around the Earth/Sun common center of mass.
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.
