Why cant you feel the pull of gravity from Jupiter even though it is massive?

I'm surprised you're not asking why you can't feel a pull toward the Sun,
since it's much closer to us than Jupiter is, and much more massive.
The force of gravity between two objects grows as the product of their
masses grows, and shrinks as the distance between them grows. With
that info, I'll go ahead and do the calculations for you.
I'm going to assume that you have mass that weighs 200 pounds on Earth.
Jupiter
When Jupiter is the closest to Earth that it can ever get, the gravitational
force attracting you and Jupiter toward each other is about 0.00012 ounce.
The Sun
When the Earth is the closest to the Sun that it can ever get, the gravitational
force attracting you and the Sun toward each other is about 2 ounces.

What is the environment around Jupiter?
The environment around jupiter is very rough. A human being (being Jupiter is so massive) could not live there because they would be crushed by the intense gravity. jupiter is gaseous so you cant stand on it either way. The actual environment(weather wise) is STORMY you may of heard of the red spot, that is like a giant storm in the middle of jupiter equator. Its a big storm on jupiter.
How many more times massive would Jupiter need to be a sun?
well Jupiter cant just gain mass to be the sun because the sun is mostly made of gas
Why cant a atom be separated?
it can, but wen it is it releases a massive amount on energy that creates a big explosion. we can control these explosions though, ie nucleur power.
What is Jupiter's land type?
Jupiter is a gas giant so you cant stand on it. it is mainly helium
How long would it take to travel to Jupiter with car?
you cant get to Jupiter with a car its in space! only if cars could fly
Is Jupiter's gravity havier then earth?
Its about 3000 times more powerful. And gravity cant be heavier, it just has more gravity acting upon it.

What are differences between earth and Jupiter?
you cant live on Jupiter
Is the moon lighter or heavier then the sun?
The sun is far more massive than the moon.
Can you do anything on Jupiter?
no u cant walk or do stuff on Jupiter because it does not have a solid surface.

What happened to any spaceship that landed on Jupiter?
You cant land on Jupiter, it has no solid surface on which to land.
What is Jupiter's land type?
Jupiter is a gas giant so you cant stand on it. it is mainly helium
Can people live in Jupiter?
no people cant live in jupiter because the wind is to hard and fast.
What activities would you do on Jupiter if you could live on Jupiter?
You cant live on Jupiter it's a gas planet. But if you could i would play basketball.
Why cant atmospheres in gas planets cannot escape into space?
The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Other things being equal, the more massive the planet, the harder it is for a gas molecule to escape into space.
