How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?

The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.


Why are mars moons and the smaller moons of the outer planets an irregular shape while the larger moons discussed in the exploration are spherical?

Mars' moons are much smaller than, for example, Earth's Moon, or the larger moons of Jupiter. A large moon will have a larger gravity, which will tend to pull the moon together into a spherical shape.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


Is mercurys gravity stronger than earths?

Planet Mercury and Planet Earth are both rocky planets. But Mercury is much smaller than Earth, so has much less force of gravity. Your answer is "No".


What planets gravity is one-fourth the gravity of earth?

Of the planets in our solar system, Mars has the lowest surface gravity of around 38% of earths - over one third. This comes closest to the 25%. We then have moons and dwarf planets, but these have much lower surface gravities.


Is there gravity on Ganymede and Callisto?

Yes, both Ganymede and Callisto, which are moons of Jupiter, have gravity due to their mass. However, the gravitational force on these moons is weaker than on Earth because they are much smaller and less massive.


Is the sun earths gravity?

No, the Sun does not have Earth's gravity; rather, it has its own gravitational pull, which is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravity is what keeps the Earth and other planets in orbit around it. Earth's gravity, on the other hand, is what keeps objects on its surface and influences the orbits of its moons and artificial satellites.


Why do objects weight less on the moon than on earth?

the moon has less gravity... because the moon is smaller and and its gravitational pull is MUCH lower than the earths


Is mercurys gravity stronger or weaker th an earths gravity?

Weaker, much weaker.


How many moons can fill the circumference of the sun?

Approximately 109 Earths could fit across the sun's diameter, based on the sun being about 109 times wider than Earth. Since the moon is much smaller than Earth, it would take many more moons than Earths to fill the circumference of the sun.


Are the 2 moons of Mars bigger than Mars or smaller than Mars?

Smaller. Much smaller.
