Jupiter's gravity compared with earth

Answer 1

While the surface gravity of Saturn is 10.44 meters per second squared, the Earth's gravity is 9.81 meters per second squared. Making a comparison of surface gravity, Saturn's gravity is higher than the Earth's. So if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh approximately 106.4 pounds on Saturn.

Answer 2

it affects us because that is why the earth spins around because of the gravitational pull.It also is the reason planets spin on their axes'.

It ACTUALLY affects the solar system by upholding the planets, so the planets stay firm in their orbits, and galaxies in the universe. I feel OTHERWISE, the entire universe would collapse into a never ending abyss, into the unknown.

BUT the actual reason is that it upholds the planets, as I said before.

Answer 3

Standing on earth, there are three bodies who's gravity affect us.
.
The sun's gravity keeps the earth in orbit, thus giving us a stable climate moderated by the seasons.
.
The earth's gravity keeps all things (that cannot fly) fixed to the ground.
.
The moon's gravity (and the sun) gives us tides.
.

These gravitational forces and effects are similar throughout the solar system, but will vary from planet to planet based upon the number and sizes of moons each planet has.

Answer 4

Depending on what you mean by the planet's "surface", yes, Jupiter's gravity is about 2.5 times that of Earth.

Jupiter is a gas giant planet; we're not entirely certain that it HAS a "surface". It may be that the density of the gas as you go deeper and deeper just gets higher and higher.

Answer 5

Gravity is essentially what keeps the solar system together. Without the gravitational pull of the sun, the planets would have floated off into space billions of years ago. Gravity also keeps the moon orbiting earth.

In a much smaller effect, gravity is the cause of changing tides.

Answer 6

Gravity is what holds the solar system together. Imagine swinging a weight on a string in circles above your head. If the string were cut, the weight wouldn't keep going in circles around you, would it? Gravity is similar to the string; without it, the planets would just fly away.

Gravity also holds individual planets together. Without it, the solar system would just be a bunch of gas and dust, with no planets at all.

Answer 7

The answer is Phobos. Phobos is the larger one of Mars' moons, but it has the smaller orbit, so it is closer to Mars. Because of Mars' proximity, it is slowly spiraling into Mars, and will eventually be broken into pieces by the Martian tidal forces. This will either cause the pieces to form a short-lived ring around Mars, or the pieces will shower down onto the Martian surface. On the other hand, Deimos, the smaller of the two moons, is slowly escaping from Mars' gravitational pull, and will someday become a loose asteroid. I write all this just because i assumed you might wany to know a little more about the moons. The answer is Phobos.

Answer 8

Answer 1

It keeps the planets in orbit. Without something to pull us in, because also each planet has it's own attraction and repel force so that's also the second reason why the planets are stable in there own orbit and they not go far away.

Answer 2

Our sun plays a very small but important part in helping to keep all other bodies in our Solar System in their proper orbits. I say small because our solar system is also affected by other systems beyond our own. Certainly our system would still be there if the sun were to disappear, but you would find that because of its lack of gravitational effect on our system our position in the solar system would change.

Answer 3

It keeps the planets in orbit. Our sun plays a vital part in helping to keep all other bodies in our Solar System in their proper orbits. The system would not be there if the sun were to disappear because the lack of gravitation would cause everything to fly off at a tangent.

Answer 9

Gravity's role is to keep the planets in orbit and balance.

Answer 10

All of our planets are held in orbit by the suns gravity.
