How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
Why do the gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why so astronauts on the moon bounce around so effortlessly?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth. This means they can jump around more easily, since the force required to lift their bodies is a lot less.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to having higher?
gravity
Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?
The earth has a colossal size more mass
When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?
None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth
How does gravity affect the earths surface?
It makes things weigh more or less, depending on the surface gravity.
Why are more craters present on the moons surface than on earths?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
Force of gravity least at which place?
The strength of gravity on the surface of a planet is related to the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravity. So the smallest planet, Mercury, is the planet with the lowest gravity, 0.38 of one g or 38% of Earths gravity. There are then the dwarf Planets which are smaller and have lower gravity. Ceres is one, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, its gravity is only 0.028g, or 2.8 of Earths. Planetary moons may smaller still, having less gravity again due to their lower mass. There are some very small moons which are only a few km across - these will have a gravity (everything with mass has a gravitational field), but this will be tiny for such a small object.
How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
Does gravity decrease or increase if earths mass doubled?
More mass --> more gravity.
Why does the acceleration of gravity vary from one point to another on the earths surface?
Different air pressure, so there is more/less air resistance.
