Yes. Every object---everyone---has gravitational forces. The gravitational force is proportional to the Mass of an object. So the Moon is exerting forces on the Earth and vice versa, but the larger object influences the smaller one more. If the Moon did not have gravitational force, then the Earth's oceans would not have tides. Mecury is so close to the massive Sun, that its small force is no match to the Sun's force.

Would your weight be the same on mercury?

no........ the weight is determined by the gravitational pull on any object gravitational pull of different planet is different. therefore, the weight changes


Why does mercury have almost no atmosphere?

Because the gravitational pull of the planet isn't strong enough to hold any gasses.


Which four planets have a less gravitational force pull than earth?

Gravitational pull is less for Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus. And th eother planets have higher gravitational pull.


Does Neptune have a gravitational pull on Mercury?

Yes, every object in the universe has a gravitational pull on every other object. However, Neptune is so much smaller than the Sun, and so much farther away, that Neptune's gravitational pull on Mercury will be unmeasurably small.


What is the gravitational pull on Mercury?

At the surface of Mercury, it's about 0.38 times Earth's surface gravity.


Where is the greatest gravitational pull?

The gravitational pull of any celestial body, is the maximum on its poles.


What is gravitational pull of planet mercury?

Gravitational attraction is the force of gravity between two objects and it depends on the mass of both of them and the distance apart. So two objects must be specified, e.g. Mercury and the Sun, or Mercury and Alpha Centauri, etc. However, we can compare the forces for any one particular object that is attracted at any particular place: The gravitational force on the surface of Mercury is about 38% compared with Earth's.


What percent of gravitational pull does Mercury have?

The "surface gravity" on Mercuryis 38% of the Earth's.


Would you weigh more on Saturn or Mercury?

You would weigh more on Saturn compared to Mercury because Saturn is a much larger planet with a stronger gravitational pull. Mercury is a smaller planet with a weaker gravitational pull, so you would weigh less on Mercury.


Mercury's gravitational field strength?

Mercury's gravitational field strength is approximately 3.7 m/s^2, which is about 38% of Earth's gravitational field strength. This means that objects on the surface of Mercury would weigh less compared to Earth due to the lower gravitational pull.


Does the running water in a river create a gravitational pull downwards?

No, the water does not create any gravitational pull.


If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?

well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer . Mercury gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Venus gravitational pull is 8.8 so its 8.8kg Earth gravitational pull is 9.8 so its 9.8kg Mars gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Jupiter gravitational pull is 23.2 so its 23.2kg Saturn gravitational pull is 9.0 so its 9kg Uranus gravitational pull is 8.7 so its 8.7kg Neptune gravitational pull is 11.1 so its 11.1kg Pluto gravitational pull is 0.6 600g
