The Sun's gravity works on each planet by keeping it in its orbit, because without gravity every planet would go off on a tangent and never come back.

Does gravity depend on the planet you are on?

Yes, gravity does depend on the planet you are on. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet and your distance from its center. Therefore, gravity will be different on each planet based on these factors.


Why are the revolutionary times of each planet different?

the farther out a planet is the less gravity is acting on the planet by the sun


How do the planets orbit around the planet?

Planets orbit the sun in a counter clockwise motion, due to the balance between the Sun's gravity and the gravity of each individual planet.


How does a planet gets its force of gravity?

A planet gets its force of gravity from its mass and the distance from its center. The more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that attracts all objects with mass towards each other.


What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?

Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.


Why is why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?

There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.


Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?

Gravity differs on different planets because it is determined by the mass of the planet. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull. Each planet has a unique mass and size, resulting in different levels of gravity on each planet.


Will your mass change from planet to planet?

No. Your mass will stay the same. Your weight, however, will change in direct proportion to each planet's gravity.


What is the force of gravity at the surface of the eight planets called?

The force of gravity at the surface of the eight planets is called surface gravity. It is the gravitational pull experienced by objects on the surface of a planet due to its mass.


How is the surface gravity of the terrestrial planets related to the type of atmosphere that they have?

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of each terrestrial planet is proportional to the mass of each planet and inversely proportional to the square of the planet's radius, with Newton's gravitational proportionality constant, and is not correlated in any way with any characteristic of the planet's atmosphere. In other words: It ain't related.


How strong is gravity on each planet?

pretty cool when u go up and down


Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?

In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
