Best Answer

Gravity on Earth is slightly stronger at the poles than at the equator, because

the diameter of the Earth at the equator is larger than the diameter through the

poles. So when you stand at a pole, you're closer to the center of the Earth, and

that's the distance that determines the force of gravity between you and the Earth.

What planet has stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

All of them do. There's no planet where the gravity is the same as on Earth.


Why gravity is 0 at center of earth?

Same attraction all directions


How does Jupiter keep all its gas together?

Gravity keeps the gasses together. It is the same on Earth; the gravity of Earth keeps our atmosphere together.


Why dont you feel tilted with earth?

Because our predominant gravity is the Earth, not the sun, we are being pulled to the Earth's core. Therefore gravity feels the same* all over the planet. However, you can observ the Earth's tilt as it is the reason we have seasons. *Unless you're measuring really precisely


Why is gravity is same for all masses on earth?

The acceleration of a falling mass due to gravity is the same for all, but the force ofgravity is definitely not the same on all masses. You may have noticed that differentpeople have different weights.


Could gravity leave the earth?

No. Earth's gravity is a product of its mass, which is a fundamental property of the materials that make it up. The same is true of all objects.


Why doesn't the Sun's gravity pull on objects on earth?

It does. Earth, along with everything on it is pulled toward the sun by gravity. However since they are all pulled in the same direction at the same rate, everything stays on Earth.


If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?

The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.


What is specific gravity of methane at 25c?

It is the same as any other thing on earth. Earth's gravitational pull is the same for all mass. If it is not on Earth, then it is the same as the gravitational pull where it is located.


Why earth shape is the spherical?

Gravity exhibits equal force on all parts, so the distance from the center is about the same on all parts of earth.


What is gravity survey?

If the earth had a completely smooth surface and all the components form which it was made were all evenly mixed up, then the force of gravity would be the same at all points on its surface. However the earth is not smooth , it has mountains and hollows in its surface and the rocks form which it is made are not evenly mixed, some surface rocks are heavy (dense) and some are light. This means that as compared to the theoretical smooth earth gravity field, the real earth gravity field varies from point to point over the surface. A gravity survey measures the small variations in the pull of gravity over the earth's surface and makes a map of these changes. This map helps geologists understand where the dense and light rocks are beneath the surface.
