How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
How much does something weigh 1000 meters above earths surface?
"at an altitude of 400 kilometres (250 miles), equivalent to a typical orbit of the Space Shuttle, gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface" -- Wikipedia: Earth's gravity # Altitude
What speed does the space shuttle have to reach to escape earths gravity?
17,500 miles per hour puts the shuttle in orbit. BUT the gravity is still there. I'm fact there is about 90% of the gravity while the shuttle is on the ground. That great rate of speed is required to keep the shuttle from falling back to earth. At that speed the shuttle is basically falling around the planet.
What does a space shuttle use to overcome earths gravity?
Rockets, the fire and gas propelled out the bottom make it rise.
What is the surface gravity on earth?
The force of gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s^2
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
What devices do es the space shuttle use to overcome the earths gravity?
rockets

What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What is marses gravity compered to earths?
38% on its surface.
Velocity parallel to earths surface?
gravity
