∙ 12y agoThe surface gravity of Mercury is 38% of Earth's. So if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 38 pounds on Mercury.
The equatorial surface gravity of Mercury is 3.7 m/s²

Does Earth exert a force on Mercury?
Yes. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every pair of mass objects. EVERY pair.
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
What is the gravitational force on mercury?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mercury is 3.7 m/s2, compared to 9.8 m/s2 on the surface of the earth. The force between Mercury and any mass there depends on the size of the mass, just as it does on earth. The weight of any object on Mercury would be about 38% of the same object's weight on earth.
Why is the gravitational force that the sun exerts on mercury not constant?
The orbit is not a perfect circle. Applies to all planets/asteroids/comets.
How centripetal force equals to gravitational force?
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
What is mercury gravitational force?
strong
What does Mercurys atmosphere cause?
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere due to its proximity to the Sun and its relatively low gravitational attraction force
Does Earth exert a force on Mercury?
Yes. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every pair of mass objects. EVERY pair.
Which four planets have a less gravitational force pull than earth?
Gravitational pull is less for Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus. And th eother planets have higher gravitational pull.
Why is the gravitational force for mercury is thirty eight times than the earth?
It isn't. It is 0.38 times that of the earth.
How much gravity does Murcury have?
The gravitational force of a planet (or body in space) is directly related to its mass. Mercury is the planet with the least mass in the Solar System. Based on its size Mercury has only 1/3 of the gravitational force felt on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100-pounds on Earth, you would only be some 33 on Mercury's surface.
What does atmosphere cause?
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere due to its proximity to the Sun and its relatively low gravitational attraction force
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
Is there any gravitational pull on mercury?
Yes. Every object---everyone---has gravitational forces. The gravitational force is proportional to the Mass of an object. So the Moon is exerting forces on the Earth and vice versa, but the larger object influences the smaller one more. If the Moon did not have gravitational force, then the Earth's oceans would not have tides. Mecury is so close to the massive Sun, that its small force is no match to the Sun's force.
Does Mercury have a tidal bulge?
Yes, Mercury has a tidal bulge because of Sun. The Sun gravitational force on Mercury's surface is more than 17 times than Moon forces Earth.
What is the gravitational force on mercury?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mercury is 3.7 m/s2, compared to 9.8 m/s2 on the surface of the earth. The force between Mercury and any mass there depends on the size of the mass, just as it does on earth. The weight of any object on Mercury would be about 38% of the same object's weight on earth.
What planet has the greater amount of gravitational force mercury or earth?
it's almost the same ... but earth's is a little bit more
