The only theoretical reason that a planet would have a greater gravitational pull is its mass. This is supported by many natural occurrences, the moon has 1/6 amount of gravity of the Earth, and is smaller. The sun has a gigantic gravitational pull (by our standards) and helps keep the planets in orbit (as well as since the Sun first formed into a star). Also, large gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune also have large amount of gravity, according to satellite and computer models. Hope this helps, David
What else can I help you with?
Why do the planets stay in orbit and not spin into outer space?
The force keeping planets in orbit is gravity from another, larger planet or mass. The larger the planet, the greater the gravitational force it will have. To give an example, the sun in our solar system keeps earth and all the other planets in our solar system in orbit because it has the greatest mass, meaning it also has the greatest gravitational force.
How would you give an object gravitational pull?
All obects have a gravitational pull. The larger it is, the stronger the pull.
Why can't the output work be greater than the input work on the inclined plane?
Then efficiency would become more than one. This leads to the concept of creating energy which is against the law of conservation of energy. If there is a gravitational incline, moving down the plane can give an output of work greater than the "immediate" input, because of the gravitational potential energy. So if you ignored the gravitational potential energy, the output could be greater. If you don't ignore the gravity, then no; you can't create energy, you can only transform energy.
You weight yourself on your bathroom scale at home.would the same scale give the same measurement if you weighted yourself on a different planetexplain?
No. Weight depends on gravity so on a different planet the gravitational strength would be different. Even if you remained on earth your weight would increase measurably if you had eaten or drunk anything, if you moved to a lower altitude, if you moved away from the equator, if you weighed yourself on rain-soaked ground.
Why do planets have different gravitational pulls?
Gravitational pull is directly related to the mass of an object. Therefore planets with more mass will have a stronger gravitational pull then planets with less mass. (for example Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than Mercury.) Edit : Yes, but also : 1) The "pull" is greater for things with greater mass so the gravitational "pull" of a planet is often given in Newtons (a unit of force) per kilogram (of the thing being pulled). 2) The force of gravity decreases with distance, so it depends where you measure it. It's normal to give the value at the surface of the planet.
What important property of a planet do you learn by studying its moons?
By studying a planet's moons, you can learn about the planet's composition, mass, and possibly its history. The moons' orbits and sizes provide clues about the planet's gravitational pull and overall structure, while their surface features and composition can give insights into the planet's geology and environment.
What measures the amount of gravity between an object and a planet?
Let's be careful here. There's no such thing as the "amount of gravity".Gravity is the name we give to a characteristic of nature that causes aforce of attraction between every two specks of matter. So you couldask "What measures the force of gravity between an object and a planet ?"If that were your question, then I would begin an answer by saying that abathroom scale is a perfectly good thing to use to measure that force.
How would aliens move in a way that is consistent with the gravitational pull of Mercury?
It could be in large leaps and bounds along the planet's surface since the force of gravity is only around 40% as much as on Earth. However, the aliens would not be able to fly since there is virtually no atmosphere to give [aerodynamic] lift.
What if there was an ozone layer on every planet?
It would be very good if the ozone was on every planet. IT would give us a chance for us to see other species evolve.
What would you weigh in deep space where the gravitational force is zero?
In deep space where the gravitational force is zero, you would be essentially weightless. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, so in the absence of gravity, there would be no force acting on you to give you weight.
What does gravity give a planet?
With out gravity planets would go flying off into space
What is the force from gravity?
If your question rephrased is 'What force does gravity give?' then the answer would be a Gravitational Force. In depth, a Gravitational force is a pulling force which, when opposing other forces, is usually over 55% dominant.
