Gravitational field strength varies from position to position on a planet.
However, for the surface of Venus, the strength is about 8.87 m/s/s (meters per second per second). That value is for the acceleration caused by the gravity.
This is slightly less than that experienced on the surface of the Earth.
In fact it's about 90% of the Earth's.

What does the gravitational field strength on a planet depend on?
It can be calculated on the basis of the planet's mass and its radius.
What is the most powerful planet?
Jupiter. I mean it has the strongest gravitational field. It has the greatest magnetic field as well.
What planet has craters cliffs and a weak magnetic field?
Mercury
Which planet has the GREATEST attraction to the sun?
The planet that has the greatest attraction to the sun is Mercury because of its close proximity. It experiences the strongest gravitational pull from the Sun.
Which planet is the second largest in the solar system?
Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system after Jupiter.
Mercury's gravitational field strength?
Mercury's surface gravitational field strength is 0.38 times the Earth's.
How much does Mercury weigh?
The planet Mercury has no weight, as this would be expressed within a gravitational field. The mass of Mercury is estimated as 3.3 ×10²³ kilograms (only about 5.5% of Earth's mass).The element Mercury has a density of 13.5 grams/ml (13.5 grams/cm3).
If you produce a scatter graph of planet mass and gravitational field strength Mercury Saturn and Jupiter appear on one line of best fit and the rest on another Why?
The gravitational field strength at a standard distance is directly proportional to a planet's mass so the need for a scatter diagram is not immediately obvious.
How does the gravity of the planets vary with he mass?
The gravitational field (gravitational attraction per unit mass) at any given distance is directly proportional to the planet's mass.The gravitational field at the planet's SURFACE also depends on the planet's radius.

How much is mercury's gravitational field?

The gravitational field strength of mercury?
It is about 3.7 n per kg.
Is Deimos a planet?
No. It is an irregularly-shaped satellite of Mars, believed to be an asteroid captured by the planet's gravitational field.
What is the most powerful planet?
Jupiter. I mean it has the strongest gravitational field. It has the greatest magnetic field as well.
Does the planet Mercury have a smaller mass than earth?
Yes, it is. Mercury is only 5% of Earth while Earth is as much as 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.Wow. :-o So your answer is yes, Mercury is less massive than Earth.
How do you know that Mercury is the planet that you could jump the highest on?
I think its because of its weak gravitational pull.
