The force of gravity is determined by (a) the masses involved, and (b) the distance between the masses. Of course, in the case of a planet for example, you can determine the mass if you know its average density and its size. Note that for a homogeneous sphere, the force of gravity on an object outside the planet is the same as if all mass were concentrated in the center.

Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
How do you select a size of the gravity disc for a purifier?
I just know that you should select according to liquid's density
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
What are the factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball?
size and weight of the ball, density of the ball matter, density of the surface , tilt of the surface, grade and finish of the surface, and of course gravity!
Why are earth and Venus called twins?
They are similar in size,mass,density and gravity

What is the relative gravity on earth?
"Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such. So, you would have to specify, "specific gravity [or density] of what substance"."Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such.

Does gravity depend on density?
Gravity does not depend on density. Gravity is the gravitational pull that is invisible and cannot be touched or changed. Density is how much matter is packed within an object, which can be changed. Gravity and density are two totally different things, and are in no way related, therefore gravity does not depend on density.
What is the relationship between density?
Gravity, because of the structures of gravity, gravity has no measure whereas density has units of mass..
The force that dictates that objects weight more at the equator than at the poles is?
gravity
What is the differnce between density and specific gravity?
density is like weight and gravity is what pulls you to the ground density is what determines weight
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
Is gravity is there in other planets?
Gravity exists throughout the universe, so the answer is yes. The strength of the gravitational field of any given body will depend upon the size, and density of the body
