What else can I help you with?
How gravitational contraction occur in planet Jupiter?
It occurs in the same way as everywhere else. The greater the mass the more powerful the gravitational attraction.
How did gravitational contraction affect earth?
Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
Could Uranus continues to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction?
Yes, Uranus can continue to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction, albeit at a much slower rate than in its earlier formation. As the planet cools, the gravitational energy from the slow contraction of its mass can be converted into thermal energy. However, this process is not the primary source of heat for Uranus today; much of its internal heat is residual from its formation. Overall, while gravitational contraction may contribute to its internal heat, it plays a limited role compared to other factors.
What does the gravitational field strength on a planet depend on?
The gravitational field strength on a planet depends on its mass and the distance from the planet's center. The greater the planet's mass, the stronger the gravitational field, and the closer you are to the planet's center, the stronger the gravitational field.
What effect does the planet have on gravitational potential energy?
The planet IS the source of gravitational (potential) energy.
Which planet would have the greatest gravitational force?
The planet that has the greatest gravitational force is Jupiter.
How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?
The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.
How gravitational contraction radioactivity and asteroid and meteorite bombardment heated early earth?
Early Earth was heated through gravitational contraction as the planet formed, where the immense gravitational forces caused materials to compress, generating heat. Additionally, radioactive decay of isotopes such as uranium and thorium released energy, contributing to the planet's thermal state. Furthermore, the bombardment of asteroids and meteorites during the Late Heavy Bombardment delivered kinetic energy, further raising temperatures and causing melting of the surface. These processes collectively contributed to the intense heat that characterized the primordial Earth.
What is the relationship between the moon and a planet in terms of gravitational influence?
The moon and a planet have a gravitational relationship where the planet's gravity pulls the moon towards it, causing the moon to orbit around the planet. The moon's gravity also affects the planet, causing tides and other gravitational interactions.
What planet has a gravitational pull?
All of them.
Does Uranus continues to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction?
False
How does the gravity of the planets vary with he mass?
The gravitational field (gravitational attraction per unit mass) at any given distance is directly proportional to the planet's mass.The gravitational field at the planet's SURFACE also depends on the planet's radius.
