What else can I help you with?
Does a planet have less gravity if it is further away from the sun?
No. The surface gravity of a planet is a product of its size and mass. It has nothing to do with distance from the sun. However, a planet farther away from the sun will experience a weaker pull from the sun's gravity.
Which planet has less gravity earth or mars?
Mars has less gravity.
Will you float away on the planet mercury?
No. Mercury's surface gravity is less than that of Earth, but it will still hold you to the surface.
What effect does distance have on gravity?
Gravity is governed by an "inverse square" relationship. This means gravity gets exponentially weaker the farther away you get. If I am 4 miles away from the center of the Earth, I will experience 1/16th the gravity that someone 1 mile away will experience. I am 4x farther away, but I get 16x less gravity.
Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?
No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
Why is there gravity on earth but almost none in space?
On Earth, gravity comes from the planet. The farther you go into space and away from Earth, the less gravity there is. Until you get near an large object, like a star, or a planet, or a moon, or a black hole. Then you will feel the pull of gravity again.
Does planet Uranus have more or less gravity than earth?
The "surface gravity" is less on Uranus.
What is a place with no sunlight?
Every planet gets sunlight, but the farther away the planet, the less sunlight it will receive per unit area.Every planet gets sunlight, but the farther away the planet, the less sunlight it will receive per unit area.Every planet gets sunlight, but the farther away the planet, the less sunlight it will receive per unit area.Every planet gets sunlight, but the farther away the planet, the less sunlight it will receive per unit area.
Why does the weightyou havechange from planet to planet?
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.
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 does this planet have less gravity than the Earth?
because it has less mass.
What are the characteristics that cause a planet to have less gravity?
The force due to gravity of a planet is dependent on the mass of that planet (and to a lesser extent the radius/diameter). If a planet is less massive then it will have a lower gravitational force.
