How does the mass of a planet affect the planets gravitational pull?

The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.

The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.

The mass of planets is tabulated on wikipedia. The gravitational strength is measured by the mass.

Jupiter has the strongest gravitational field as it has the greatest mass of all the planets.

The gravitational acceleration of a planet at a fixed distance from its center is directly proportional to its mass.

No, its depends on the planets gravitational pull

Of the eight planets that orbit the Sun, Jupiter has the strongest gravitational pull because it has more mass than any of the other planets. In fact, it has more mass than ALL the other planets combined!

Mass and distance to that planet.

The larger the mass of any object, the larger its gravitational field strength, the same goes for planets.

A greater mass creates a stronger gravitational pull.

Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls

the rule of gravity is the greater mass a planet is the stronger its gravitational pull is so the suns mass is so heavy that its gravitational pull is so strong it keeps all the planets in line

the gravitational power of the planets are different.weight of any substance depend on both gravitational and magnitude(mass).since mass dose not change any planet but gravitational force change so weight is different at different planet. W=m multiply g

As planets get bigger, the gravitational pull gets bigger. Mass entails gravity.

That's because a planet's gravitational effects on a star are stronger - and therefore easier to detect - if the planet is close to the star, and if it is massive. Current methods of detecting planets usually rely on the gravitational interaction between a planet and a star.

Gravitational pull is directly related to the mass of an object. Therefore planets with more mass will have a stronger gravitational pull then planets with less mass. (for example Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than Mercury.) Edit : Yes, but also : 1) The "pull" is greater for things with greater mass so the gravitational "pull" of a planet is often given in Newtons (a unit of force) per kilogram (of the thing being pulled). 2) The force of gravity decreases with distance, so it depends where you measure it. It's normal to give the value at the surface of the planet.

Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them. That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.

Because a planet has mass, it has a gravitational pull. Every object with mass has gravity, but the amount of mass it has determines its gravitational pull. The earth has a very large amount of mass, so it has a large gravitational pull.

The amount of gravity is not really quantifiable, but the gravitational force of a planet on a standard mass at a standard distance is proportional to the planet's mass.

The force keeping planets in orbit is gravity from another, larger planet or mass. The larger the planet, the greater the gravitational force it will have. To give an example, the sun in our solar system keeps earth and all the other planets in our solar system in orbit because it has the greatest mass, meaning it also has the greatest gravitational force.

In 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.

Yes, the force of gravitational attraction of a planet is directly proportional to the planet's mass.

Jupiter has the strongest gravitational field because it has the largest mass of all the planets.

Not only planets but everything with mass, no matter how large or small, has a gravitational effect.

A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull. Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun, and what keeps us rooted to the planet.
