F = G*m(planet)*m(object)/(r^2)

where F is the gravitational force

G is the gravitational constant

m is mass

r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

g = G*m(planet)/(r^2)

where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

How is the mass of a planet related to the amount of gravity on a planet?

Linearily.


How much gravity do the other planets have?

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.


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 is earth the only planet with gravity?

All objects with mass have gravity, so all planets have gravity. However, the strength of gravity depends on the mass of the planet. Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold objects to its surface, which is why we feel it as weight.


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 the mass of a planet influence the gravitational pull?

The amount of gravity that something possesses is proportional to its mass and distance between it and another object.


What would happen to your mass and weight in a another planet?

Your mass would remain constant regardless of the planet you are on, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would change because weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass, which varies from planet to planet. For instance, on a planet with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, while on a planet with weaker gravity, you would weigh less.


What conclusion you make about the mass and gravity of planet?

more mass = more gravity


What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?

The mass of the object remains the same since it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, but the weight changes because weight is dependent on gravity, which varies from planet to planet. If the gravitational force on the new planet is different than on Earth, the weight of the object will be different.
