Pluto has a weaker surface gravity than a planet because it has much less mass than a planet has.

Than what?The surface gravity of Mars is lower than that of Earth, but higher than that of the Moon, if that helps.


Does mercury have stronger or weaker weaker gravity?

Mercury has weaker gravity compared to Earth. Its surface gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.


Why is Pluto considered to have the weakest surface gravity?

Back when Pluto was still listed as a planet it was considered to have the weakest gravity of all the solar system's planets. Now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status, the planet with the weakest surface gravity is Mercury. While Pluto's gravity is weaker than that of any planet in the solar system, there are still many non-plantery objects with weaker surface gravity.


Does Uranus have a stronger or weaker gravity around the earth?

Uranus's surface gravity is weaker.


Does Pluto have the least amount of gravity in the solar system?

No. Pluto has weaker gravity than any of the planets, which would have meant it had the weakest gravity when it was still considered a planet. Other, non-planetary bodies such as asteroid and comets have far weaker gravity.


Does venus have stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

Venus has weaker gravity than Earth. The surface gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's gravity.


Are there any known planets that have a gravational pull weaker than the dwaf planet Pluto?

I don't think so. No official "planet" in the Solar System has such a weak gravity; most of the so-called "extrasolar" planets (i.e., outside our Solar System) are quite a bit more massive than Earth, since such planets are easier to discover.Other dwarf planets in the Solar System may have a weaker gravity, if you want to count those.


Is the gravity force on the other planets stronger or weaker than the force on earth?

It varies. It is stronger on some planets and weaker on others. The strength of gravity on any planet depends on its mass and diameter.


Does Uranus have a stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?

Uranus has a slightly weaker "surface gravity" compared with the Earth.


Does Uranus have Weaker or stronger gravity than Earth?

The "surface gravity" is slightly less than on Earth.


Does larger planets have more gravity than the earth?

It is more accurate to say that more massive planets have stronger gravity. If a planet had the same mass as Earth but a larger radius (i.e. it is less dense) surface gravity would be weaker, as the strength of gravity depends on both an objects mass and the distance from its center.


Does Mercury have stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?

There less gravity on Mercury than on Earth.
