On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.

The other planets do have gravity.


How come earth has less gravity than other planets?

Gravity is directly related to mass. More mass, more gravity. Less mass, less gravity.


When you go on different planets it takes more energy to move something than it is on Earth Is it more gravity or less gravity?

Other planets have more or less gravity than Earth, so the energy needed to move things around is also more or less.


Why don't any other planets have any air and gravity?

All planets have gravity- Some more than Earth, some less. Other planets that are large enough do have air- but not made up of the same gasses as Earth.


How gravity affects us on different planets?

The larger the planet is, the more amount of gravity you will get. The smaller the planet is, the less amount of gravity you will get.


Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?

Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.


Why is your weight less on some planets and greater on other planets?

Because of gravity. The greater a planet's mass the more gravity it has. The more gravity a planet has the more "force" is pulling you towards the centre and thus you have more weight.


Why do planets have less gravity then the Sun?

Planets have less mass than the sun, hence, they have weaker gravitational fields.


Do less massive planets have less gravitational force?

Gravity is the pull from matter. Less matter means less gravity, so yes.


Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?

No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.


Why does earth have gravity and the other planets do not?

All massive objects (including all planets) have gravity.
