the bigger the planet the more gravity it has because it needs to hold it self together so it has more gravity than smaller planets who require a small amount of gravity to hold themselves toghther

∙ 13y agoIt doesn't effect your mass, but it effects your weight. Weight is the "vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity." Mass effects gravity. When something has a bigger mass (takes up more space, has a greater volume) gravity has a greater pull on it, increasing it's weight. Since Jupiter has a much stronger gravitational pull than Earth, when a certain amount of mass is put on Jupiter it has a greater weight because there's more gravitational pull on it than if it were on Earth. So if 10 grams of cupcakes weigh 10 pounds on Earth, they might weigh 20 pounds on Jupiter because Jupiter has a stronger gravity than Earth and is pulling down (vertical force) on the cupcake more. The mass of the cupcakes didn't change, the weight (gravitational pull) on the cupcakes did.

∙ 10y agoIn general, the more mass a planet has, the greater the gravitational force of the planet will be. Jupiter has a lot of mass, for example, so it has a big gravitational force. The gravitational force also depends on the distance from the center of the planet. Saturn for example, is over 90 times more massive than Earth, but it has a bigger radius. Its "surface" (if it had one; it's a gas giant) is much farther from its center, so the gravitational force at the "surface" of Saturn is fairly close to the gravitational force at the surface of Earth.

Newton found that gravity depends upon mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the what?
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
The weight would double, while the mass stayed the same.
What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
What factors affect the acceleration due to gravity on a planet and how?
By far the most significant factor is the mass of the planet, thus, primarily effects which alter mass would be those which affect the gravitational field. There are some relativistic effects which can affect mass or gravity such as speeds approaching that of light, and also spin which can alter the radial component of the gravitational field, through the frame dragging effect (usually explained through general relativity's description of gravitation as a curvature of spacetime).
How does the gravity of the planet vary with its mass?
The larger the planet mass, the bigger force of gravity it has.
Can planet grow without gravity?
Gravity comes with mass so since a planet has mass there is some gravity. the bigger the planet the more mass it has. smaller planets have less gravity. so either way there is always some gravity on a planet.
Why there is force of gravity on your planet?
Where there is mass there is gravity.
Can a planet suddenly lose its gravity?
No that is impossible. Gravity is related to mass, so while a planet still has mass it still has gravity.
How does a planet's gravity vary with its mass?
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.
How does a planet gets its force of gravity?
The force of gravity of a planet is a product of its mass.
What conclusion you make about the mass and gravity of planet?
more mass = more gravity
How does the gravity of planet mercury vary with its mass?
Gravity is directly proportional to mass.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object weas taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Mass is not affected by gravity, so it would have the same mass. Weight, on the other hand, is affected by gravity, and would double when on the planet as compared to when it is on Earth (w=mg, where w=weight, m=mass, g=gravitational acceleration also called strength of gravity)
Newton found that gravity depends upon mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the what?
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
Where does the gravity of a planet come from?
Its mass
How does the gravity of a planet vary with it's mass?
Objects have a gravitational pull proportional to their mass.
