Because-- 1) The Earth isn't quite round, it bulges at the equator. 2) Large masses such as mountain ranges cause localized differences. 3) The difference between oceans and rock. 4) Hollows and discontinuities cause slight differences.

Which rocky planet has the strongest gravitational pull?

Of the four inner, rocky planets, Earth is the largest and most massive. As a consequence, it has the highest surface gravity of the four inner planets. The gravity for Venus is around 90% of Earths, while for Mars and Mercury the surface gravity is around 38% of Earths.

What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?

When objects free fall near Earth's surface, they experience constant acceleration due to gravity. This means that the objects increase their velocity by the same amount each second while falling. The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.


What planets gravity is one-fourth the gravity of earth?

Of the planets in our solar system, Mars has the lowest surface gravity of around 38% of earths - over one third. This comes closest to the 25%. We then have moons and dwarf planets, but these have much lower surface gravities.


What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?

The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
