Which planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
Jupiter has the most gravity out of all the planets
Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?
Sure does.
What holds the atmosphere to the earth?
The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.
Why is there so little atmosphere on the moon?
Because it does not have enough gravity to "hold" onto an atmosphere.
Which inner planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
I think it is Venus or Earth.
Why doesnt mercury have an atmosphere?
One word- gravity. Mercury is just simply not massive enough to generate the gravity required to hold gases close enough to the surface to create an atmosphere.
Does mercury have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
no, it's way too close to the sun to hold onto an atmosphere without the sun's gravity riping it apart, plus the solar winds are too strong for mercury to hold it's atmosphere.
How is air held in position around the Earth?
By the Earth's gravity. This is why celestial bodies like the Moon and Mercury do not have atmospheres, they don't have enough gravity to hold onto the gases.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
Will you float away on the planet mercury?
No. Mercury's surface gravity is less than that of Earth, but it will still hold you to the surface.
Why do Mercury and Mars have no atmospheres?
Their gravity is too weak to hold on to atmospheric gases.
Can there be plant or animal life on Mercury?
no plant or animal life can be found on mercury because there is not enough oxygen gravity.
Which planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
Jupiter has the most gravity out of all the planets
Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?
Sure does.
Why does the moon have gravity but no air?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth. It is not enough to hold onto an atmosphere.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
What is the math for mercury gravity compared to earth?
mercury gravity: earth gravity
