How is the distance between the centers of two objects related to the size of the pull of gravity between them?

The closer the distance, the greater the pull of gravity between them.


What is venus's gravity pull?

Yes it does. All objects have gravity but the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object.


How did gravity relate the shape and size of the universe?

because the suns gravitational pull is so large that the planets stay close to together


Is earths gravity strong or weak?

Earth technically has a weak gravity because it is one of the smallest planets compared to the others. The greater the size or mass the more gravitational pull it has.


Why is why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?

There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.


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.


Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?

No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.


How gravity affects us on different planets?

The larger the planet is, the more amount of gravity you will get. The smaller the planet is, the less amount of gravity you will get.


Which planet has the strongest gravity?

Earth has the strongest gravitational pull.


Do earthly objects decrease in size on planets with greater gravity?

No. They increase in weight.


How slow do planets orbit?

It depends on their size, mass, distance and strength of gravity.


Why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?

All planets have gravity, but some planets have more gravity that others. The amout of gravity is based on the size of the planet. Jupiter, for example, has much more gravity than Earth because it is bigger. Planents aren't the only objects that have gravity. Even your pencil has gravity, but it is such an extremly small amout that it really doens't make a difference.
