The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mercury, and therefore
the weight of any mass located there, is roughly 37.7% of what it is
on Earth's surface.
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.
There less gravity on Mercury than on Earth.
This does seem odd. Mars, with a mass that is about twice the mass of Mercury, has about the same surface gravity. Mars' mass is about .107 the mass of earth, and the mass of Mercury is about .055 the mass of earth. The surface gravity on Mars is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth, and the surface gravity of Mercury is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth as well. The difference is that the mean density of Mercury is about 5.43 grams per cubic centimeter, and the mean density of Mars is about 3.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Mercury is quite a bit more dense, so if you stand on Mercury you are much closer to the center of gravity of the planet. Mercury has a tiny slightly bit more gravity than mercury though.
Mercury does not have extreme gravity. Its gravity is only 38% of Earth's. If you are talking about Jupiter, then yes.

Mercury has very weak gravity.
Their gravity is too weak to hold on to atmospheric gases.
Mercury's weak gravity and close proximity to the hot sun make it easy for gasses to escape.
Mercury has no moons of it's own.
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.
If you mean the acceleration due to gravity on the surface, that's about 3.7 meters per second squared; for comparison, gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters per second squared.
mercury gravity: earth gravity
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
Mercury's gravity is 38% of that on Earth.
Gravity ("surface gravity")on Mercury is 0.38 that of Earth.
The gravity on Mercury is 38% of Earth's gravity. So, if you were 150mlbs on Earth, you would be 57 lbs on Mercury.
Generally speaking, the bigger or more massive a planet it, the more gravity it has, since gravity and mass are related. the small planets such as Mars and Mercury have a weaker gravity, while the larger planets have a strong gravitational field.
