No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.

Why Pluto move more slowly in it's orbit than any other planet?
Because it is farther away. The farther an object is from the sun the less gravity effects it. If Pluto moved faster it would escape the suns gravity and fly off into space, if it moved slower it would get closer and closer to the sun.
Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?
No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.
When the planets are farther away from the sun they go - what is the answer?
They go more slowly. That's because there is less gravity.
Why do some planets and other objects speed up as they get closer to the sun?
Basically Gravity. The farther the planet is from the Sun, not only has it a longer distance to travel, but also the slower its speed, as it is less affected by the Suns gravity. See link for further information
Why does a planet a planet keep orbiting the sun?
Inertia is trying to pull the planet away from the sun and gravity is pulling the planet toward the sun so the both inertia and gravity steer the planet around the sun
Why are the revolutionary times of each planet different?
the farther out a planet is the less gravity is acting on the planet by the sun
Does a planet have less gravity if it is further away from the sun?
No. The surface gravity of a planet is a product of its size and mass. It has nothing to do with distance from the sun. However, a planet farther away from the sun will experience a weaker pull from the sun's gravity.

What planet has a gravity pull of less than half of earth?
the sun
Why does the distance between each planet increase as you get closer to Pluto?
The sun's gravity gets weaker and weaker as you observe it farther and farther toward Pluto, so the materials that made up the planets to begin with, moved farther and farther out from the sun than the material near the sun did, then when the swirling materials got together in dense clouds, their own gravity pulled them into a ball, which we now call a planet, or planetesimal, like Pluto.
Why do planets have less gravity than the sun?
No planet has anywhere near the mass that the sun does, and the strength of gravity in an object is proportional to its mass.
Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?
No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.
If a planet has less gravity will it take longer to revolve around the sun?
No, it is the sun's gravity that affects the planets revolutions. The planet's distance from the sun is also very important in the time it takes to revolve around the sun.
What planet is farther from the sun?
Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun
Which major type of planet is most evolved jovian or terrestrial?
The Jovian planets are a more evolved type of planet. Since they are farther from the Sun, they are less affected by the Sun and undergo less change.
