No, the more mass of an object the more gravity it exerts.

How come earth has less gravity than other planets?
Gravity is directly related to mass. More mass, more gravity. Less mass, less gravity.
How does gravity let us measure masses of astronomical bodies?
More mass = more gravity. From the movement of an object, rather from its acceleration, the mass of any object that attract it can be calculated.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
Is gravity the force that pulls objects together?
The exact scientific explanations of gravity are far too complex for this forum. The simple explanation is that every body that has mass attracts every other body that has mass. The more massive the two bodies are the more they attract each other. The more distant they are, the less they attract. Earth has a huge mass, billions and billions of times the size of a human. All of that taken together pulls everything and everyone toward the center of the earth. You may not be aware of it, but your body is also pulling the earth toward you. We can see the effect of a smaller body pulling on a larger one when we see the tides. The moon, a quarter of a million miles away, is affecting the water and the outer crust of the earth, even though the moon is only a little more than 1% of the earth's mass. Further out, tiny Pluto was discovered (in part) because it was affecting the orbits of the gas giant planets Neptune and Uranus.
Which two forces of a result is the orbit of the planet?
Gravity, which pulls an object inward, and inertia, which resists gravity. They combine to form a more-or-less circular orbit.
Does the earths gravity pull the moon more than the moon pulls the earth?
Yes.. Always gravity exerted by an object that has larger mass is more.
Which is the force that pulls objects toward centre of the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.Isaac Newton developed this concept.Gravity. The Earth has more mass than the object, it pulls it towards its' center.
How are the mass and weight of an object related?
mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
What effects does mass have on gravity?
the more mass the object has the stronger the gravity will pull down on the object making it heavier
What planets have high gravitational pulls?
Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
How does gravity make objects to move?
Gravity cannot make objects move on their own, unless they are on a slope or incline. If you mean to ask how gravity holds objects down then that is a completely different question. The more mass a single object has, the more it pulls other objects towards that object. So therefore, the bigger the object the more the gravitational pull.
Why does the super massive black hole have more gravity?
Quite simply it has more mass. The more mass an object has, the more gravity it will have.
What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?
More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).
How come earth has less gravity than other planets?
Gravity is directly related to mass. More mass, more gravity. Less mass, less gravity.
How do mass and direction affect the gravity of an object?
Mass effects gravity because the more mass the object has the more gravity it has. For example the sun has more gravity then the Earth. I am not understanding what you mean by direction. I don't think it affects it all. But I do know that distance affects gravity because the farther away the object the more force of gravity will be needed to pull it. Hope it helps and reply back plz. ~ImQuiteFascinating
How gravity does effects objects?
Gravity pulls objects towards Earth. Or, in more general terms, towards any mass.
