All objects have gravitational pull - so the theory of matter would say, of course, unless the object is so large like the Earth or Moon, it is undetectable. So gravity is not just on Earth, it is a universal thing. Of course, there is nothing that could have gravity in space other that planets etc., so unless you where close to one you would not feel any gravity. Now to answer your question. It could go either way. You could say that the farther you get from Earth, the less gravity there is. So space, you would assume, would not have much at all. But if you were close to a planet like Jupiter, which has 2.5 times the gravity as Earth, you would feel more gravity than here on Earth. Does this answer your question? If not, try this: Gravity is related to mass. Mass is the weight of an object. The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. Space has little mass and therefore little gravity. The moon is about 1/3 the size of the Earth, therefore it would have about 1/3 the gravity.

Why does a brick weigh more on earth than it does in space?

More gravity on Earth.


Which weighs more the earth or the moon?

There is no such thing as weight in space as there is no gravity up there. Although seeing as the earth has more mass it would weigh more if there where gravity in space.

How is the force of earth's gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?

The object launched into space has rocket motors with more force taking it away from Earth than Earth's force of gravity has in pulling the object toward its center.


Does earth have more gravity or Ceres?

Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.


Why do you feel the affects of gravity more when you are here on Earth than you would out in space?

Because gravity is stronger with a bigger object. The greatest effect on the gravity you undergo has to do with the immense electromagnetivity from the Earth's core. There are none of those physical factors in space.


Is gravity on Jupiter more or less than earth?

Jupiters gravity is much more than on the earth!


Is there more or less gravity on Neptune then on earth?

Neptune has slightly more gravity than Earth. It is believed that the gravity is 17% greater than Earth's.


Is there more gravity in outer space?

It depends on where you are. In most pars of space you are far away from any massive objects, so gravity will be much weaker than it is at Earth's surface. At the height of low Earth orbit, gravity is slightly less than it is at the surface. Only near very massive objects such as giant planets and stars will you experience stronger gravity than on Earth.


Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?

More space dust is attracted to the Sun than to Earth because the Sun's gravity is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravitational pull can reach and capture particles from farther away in space. Earth's gravity is not as strong as the Sun's, which is why less space dust is drawn towards our planet.


Is any planet has greater gravity then earth?

All planets with more mass than earth have more gravity than it. So all of the gas giants have far more gravity than Earth.


How space is harder to fly on than earth?
