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 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 the gravity on Mars compared to earth?

The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.


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.
