The other planets do have gravity.


Why does earth have gravity and the other planets do not?

All massive objects (including all planets) have gravity.


Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?

The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.


Why is there only gravity on earth and not any other planet?

What holds Earth and the the other planets in their orbit?

Simple. Gravity! The planets are dragged in by the gravity of the sun.


Does earth have the most gravity compared to the other planets?

No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.


Does earth have strong or weak gravity?

Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.


What effect does the moon have on other planets?

The moon's effect on other planets is minimal compared to its influence on Earth. The moon's gravity can cause slight motions in the planets, but these effects are typically very small due to the planets' larger size and distance from the moon. Overall, the moon primarily affects Earth's tides and to a lesser extent, the movement of celestial bodies within our solar system.


How does the gravity of the sun impact on earth?

The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it


Why don't any other planets have any air and gravity?

All planets have gravity- Some more than Earth, some less. Other planets that are large enough do have air- but not made up of the same gasses as Earth.
