Want this question answered?
Force of gravity equals mass of planet times mass of other times the constant (G) that makes the units work all divided by the distance from one to the other AND the other to one (turns out to be distance squared). F=GxM1xM2/(DxD)
Due to the gravity force which vary according to the mass of each planet.
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)
Yep. So would terminal velocity in free-fall. It would depend entirely on the gravity of the planet.
It is the other way round - gravity varies with altitude. In other words, you should consider altitude the independent variable. At a greater altitude, there is less gravitational force. This is explained by the equation - F(g) = G(m1m2)/(r^2) where G = constant, m1 and m2 = mass, F(g) = force due to gravity, and r = distance from center of mass. The altitude difference covered by humans daily (high buildings, hills) makes only a small, probably negligable difference in force due to gravity.
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
The gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. For the gravity on the surface of the planet, the distance is just the planet's radius. Thus, if a planet has three times the mass, it has three times the gravity. If you are three times as far away, the gravity decreases by a factor of nine.
The gravitational acceleration of a planet at a fixed distance from its centeris directly proportional to its mass.
The larger the planet mass, the bigger force of gravity it has.

Gravity is directly proportional to mass.
No, because the mass of Venus does not vary.
