What determines the pull of gravity at a planets surface?

It's mainly to do with the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravitational pull of the planet. The two are related.


What determines the strength of a gravitional pull?

the density of the object that gravity is working upon determines it.


What is a pull of a star or planet called?

Where does the gravity on Planet Mars pull you too Is it to the core downwards or just that there is no gravity on the planet Mars If not then why?

The gravity on Mars or any other planet pulls you toward the planet's center.


What determines how much gravity on a planet has?

Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.


What is the downward pull on an object resting on a planet?

Does gravity stop gases from escaping form a planet?

Yes, gravity plays a significant role in preventing gases from escaping a planet's atmosphere. The strength of a planet's gravity determines the escape velocity required for gases to break free from the planet's gravitational pull. Planets with higher gravity, like Earth, are able to retain gases more effectively compared to those with weaker gravity.


Why neptune gravity pull people in?

Gravity is an attractive force that occurs between all objects with mass. The gravity of any planet will pull objects in.


Is the pull of gravity from other planets the same as Earth?

No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.


What determines how strong what the pull of gravity is?

-- the masses of both objects that are being drawn together by gravity -- the distance between their centers of gravity


What does the pull of the Sun's gravity and a planet's forward motion cause the planet to do?

orbit 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.
