Gravity is strongest at the poles of the earth because at the equator, the earth bulges out slightly. That puts objects at the equator "a bit farther away" from the earth, so they will be "pulled on less" owing to the fact that they are not as close.
Gravity is influenced by the distance from the center of gravity and the mass of the object. The closer you are to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational pull will be (and vice-versa).

∙ 11y agoThe force of gravity depends only on the amount of mass. It doesn't care what
substance the mass is made of. That's why a kilogram of gold and a kilogram of
mud have the same weight.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe acceleration of gravity on earth is 9.8m/s2 .
The force on each object depends on the mass of the object.
That's why different people have different weights, and why
most people weigh less than most trucks.
So the object that will be attracted to the earth with the greatest force
will be the object with the greatest mass.

This is because the force of gravity is ratedto mass........ The value of varies inversely as tie sq of the radius of Earth. Radiur at equater is greatest. Hence value of g is minimum at equater. The radius at poles is least. Hence the value of g is maximum at the poles. G increases from tie equator to poles.

Perhaps the gravitational attraction toward the moon and the sun may be relatively greater when the
earth is relatively nearer to those bodies; but that should be interpreted as "co-channel interference"
alongside earth's gravitational field, and not as any change in it.

What substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest pull?
The moon's gravity exerts that same amount of pull on all substance on Earth, regardless of what it is made of. We observe a greater effect on water because it can flow freely in response to that pull, not because it is pulled with greater force.
Which planet has the greatest gravitational force?
Jupiter, because of its mass. But the actual effective gravitational force falls off greatly as you go farther from the planet, so that it only affects smaller objects when they are relatively nearby, like its moons. Otherwise, it exerts the greatest force (co-attraction) on other large planets.
What planet exerts the greatest gravatational pull?
Jupiter, being that largest planet with the highest mass, has the largest gravitational pull of any planet in our solar system. However the planet with the largest gravitational pull known to man outside our solar system is HAT-P-2b in the Hercules constellation, it is 1.8 the size of Jupiter and 8.2 the mass of Jupiter.
Does gravity pull a spacecraft towards the nearest planet?
yes it does beause the gravity is every where
What the force the pull you towards the center of a planet or star?
gravity
What is the third planet that has the greatest force of gravity?
The planet with the third-biggest gravitational pull is Uranus.
What is the difference between a planet's orbit and gravitational pull?
A planets gravitational pull is the force it exerts on other objects. The planets orbit is the path it takes due to gravity. Basically gravity causes the orbit.
Which planet has the greatest pull of gravity?
Jupiter (out of all the planets within our solar system.)
What is the pull that all matter exerts on other matter?
Gravity
What substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest pull?
The moon's gravity exerts that same amount of pull on all substance on Earth, regardless of what it is made of. We observe a greater effect on water because it can flow freely in response to that pull, not because it is pulled with greater force.
Which planet has the highest gravity at its surafce?
Jupiter has the greatest gravitational pull, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 253lbs on Jupiter.
What is a pull of a star or planet called?
Gravity
Does gravity involve air?
No. All matter exerts a gravitational pull. We feel Earth's gravity because it has a very large mass.
When a planet is far away from the sun the pull of gravity between them will be?
The pull of gravity between them will be so light
Where does the gravity on Planet Mars pull you too Is it to the core downwards or just that there is no gravity on the planet Mars If not then why?
The gravity on Mars or any other planet pulls you toward the planet's center.
