Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls

Do other planets have gravitational acceleration?
Yes. They all do - any mass, especially large masses like planets, have a gravitational acceleration that pulls things towards them!
The atmosphere of the gas giant planets cannot escape into space because?
the planets have very strong gravitational pulls.
What did newton call the force that pulls all the planets towards the sun?
Gravitational Pull?
What type of force keeps the sun and planets in there places?
the suns gravitational pull pulls them toward it but the planets try to escape its gravity
What occurs to the ocean tide when gravitational pulls at its strongest?
high tide
What effect does the gravitational pulls have on the planets?
Gravitational pull gives planets their spheroidal shape (balanced by the outward push of matter, causing hydrostatic equilibrium) and also dictates their orbits, for example, their orbit around the Sun.
What is the biggest force?
the suns gravitational field is the biggest force for it pulls other planets in the area around it encircling itself
How does gravity maintain the shape of the solar system?
Gravity pulls in the sun and the planets to stay together in the orbit . The planets have gravitational force between them so they wont fall out.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
What are low high tides?
The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the ocean up on the shore this is called high tide and when the moon releases the gravitational pull it is called the low tide
Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?
Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.
Why do giant planets have many more moons than terrestrial planets?
Gas giants are larger and there for have a stronger gravitational pull. When the solar system was forming, the larger planets with greater gravitational pulls collected more satellites and therefore have more moons.
