It doesn't. As an example, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of
Earth's moon is less than 1/2 of what it is on the surface of Mars.
The strength of gravity on any astronomical body is determined by both its
mass and radius. Those are the answers to any "why" gravity question.
What else can I help you with?
What planet would you be the lightest on?
The surface gravity on Mars is the weakest, it is 37.6% of Earths.
Which is the weakest force?
The weakest of the fundamental forces is gravity.
What planet has the smallest gravitional force?
Believe it or not Mars has the weakest gravity of the planets.Mars = 0.376gMercury = 0.38gEven though Mercury is the smallest planet, it is very dense.
Why is planet earth the have the weakest gravity?
It doesn't. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto have less gravitational acceleration at their surface than Earth has. That leaves only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with stronger gravity.
Where is gravity its weakest?
Far from a small mass.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
What is the gravity at the surface of Mars?
The force of gravity on Mars is equal to 3.7m/s2. Mars's force of gravity is therefore 37.8% that of Earth's.
What is weakest gravity the strong force the weak force or the electromagnetic force?
Gravity is the weakest force. In order from strongest to weakest is the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and gravity. However, this is relative to distance - one could consider that gravity is the strongest force because its effect can be felt over enormous distances, even astronomical distances.
Is the gravity on mars the same as on earth?
No. Surface gravity on Mars is 37.6% (about 3/8) what it is on Earth.
Which planet has less gravity earth or mars?
Mars has less gravity.
Is gravity on mars the same as on earth?
No. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of what it is on Earth.
What are the three planets and moon from strongest gravity to weakest?
It depends on the mass of the moon and the relation of it's proximity to the planet it is orbiting. Since humans have only traveled to the Earth's moon, we can only truly get an understanding by being there. However, we do have an idea of how strong or weak gravity is on each moon. More than likely, the moon with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars' two moons, which aren't really moons, rather old asteroids orbiting the red planet. Phobos and Deimos. The two moons with the strongest gravity are most likely Titan (The only known moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere) and Triton (One of Neptune's moons). Now for the planets: The planet with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars. The atmosphere is extremely thin and the planet is bitterly cold. Now, the planets that receive the strongest gravity award are the gas giants. All gas giants (Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus; Neptune) would literally crush you into nothing the gravity is so strong. These planets are also the deadliest and most uninhabitable. But, to sum everything up, there is no clear cut 'one to three' lineup. The solar system is still very mysterious and holds secrets scientists still have to uncover. Hope this helps and answers your question.
