∙ 11y ago
One of the largest asteroids, Ceres was discovered in 1801.
With its estimated average radius of about 461 km, and its estimated mass
of 9.43 x 1020 kg (0.00015 of Earth's mass, 0.0128 of the Moon's mass), the
acceleration of gravity on its surface is estimated at 0.27 m/s2, or 2.8% of
its value on the Earth's surface.
If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you'll weigh about 4pounds 2.1ounces on Ceres.

Does Ceres have any gravity?
Yes. Surface gravity on Ceres is about 3% that of Earth.
Is Ceres an inner or an outer planet?
Ceres is classified as a dwarf planet. Ceres is a large asteroid, part of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. If it was a planet, it would be classified as an inner.
If a hammer and feather were dropped simultaneously from the same height on the asteroid Ceres which would hit the ground first?
They would hit the surface together, after a very long time. Gravity on Ceres is pretty light.
Is Venus a terrestrial planet?
Ceres was counted as a planet from its discovery in 1801 until the 1850s when it was reclassified as an asteroid. In 2006 it was classified as a dwarf planet, which is not considered a planet.
Why is Ceres not called a moon?
Ceres is not called a moon because it orbits the sun and not a planet.
Is Ceres a gaseous planet?
Ceres is not a gaseous planet. Ceres is not a planet, it is a dwarf planet. Ceres has a rocky surface.
What is Ceres' gravity compared to Earth?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres is listed as 0.27 m/s2. That's 2.75% of its value on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh 51/2 pounds on Ceres, not counting all the stuff you'd need to wear just to stay alive there.
Does Ceres have any gravity?
Yes. Surface gravity on Ceres is about 3% that of Earth.
Does Ceres have gravity?
Ceres has a mean density of about 2.077 g/cm3
How much gravity in Ceres?
The gravity of Ceres is 0.27 m/s² or 0.028 g
What is Ceres gravity size compared with earth?
The gravitational field at the surface is: For Ceres: 0.28 meters per second squared For Earth: 9.8 meters per second squared
How much would a 95-kg astronaut weigh on Ceres?
The gravity on Ceres - which is a "dwarf planet" or "plutoid" in what is called the asteroid belt - is 3% of Earth's. If the weight of an average man on Earth is 175 pounds, then on Ceres he would weigh 2.25 pounds.
What is the gravity of the dwarf planet Ceres?
I am not too sure but as soon as I find out, I will write it.
Does ceres the dwarf planet have weaker or stronger gravity than earth?
weaker
Does earth have more gravity or Ceres?
Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.
Is Ceres the smallest planet?
No. Ceres is classified as a dwarf planet, not a planet.
What planet is after Ceres?
The next planet after Ceres is Jupiter.
