Will the planet Pluto be attracted to the sun with the same force as the earth is attracted to the sun?
No. Pluto has less mass and it is further away, so the force is a lot less.
Pluto's mass is only about 0.0022 times the Earth's mass and Pluto is (on average) about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth. So, according to Newton's law of gravity, the gravitational force attracting Pluto compared with Earth is only about 0.0022/392. That's only about 1.4 x 10-6 times the force felt by the Earth.
The force on the Earth is 3.542 x 1022 Newtons, ±3.4% due to the elliptical orbit.
The force on Pluto is 5.001 x 1016 Newtons, ±50%.

What is the gravity on the planet Pluto?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
What is the gravity like on planet Pluto?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
Is the force of gravity stronger or weaker on pluto then earth?
Much weaker. Pluto is a dwarf planet and much less massive than earth, so it has lesser granitational force at it's surface.
Will planet Pluto be attracted to the sun with the same force as the earth?
No. Let's take Earth as a good example to start with. Let's say you look at the force of gravity of Pluto if it were twice as far from the Sun as Earth is. The force of gravity would be 2x2 = 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from Sun twice that distance, and the force of gravity would be another 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from the Sun another 2 times its previous distance, and the force of gravity between it and the Sun would be yet another 4 times weaker. And so on, until you reach a point in space where Pluto is really, actually positioned.
Is there is any gravity on planet Pluto?
Yes, there is. In fact, anything that has mass will have gravity. In the case of Pluto, it has a mass of 0.0125x1024kg, and a force of gravity of 0.58m/s2 (which is about 6% that of Earth's gravity).
What is the the force of Pluto's gravity?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
Does Pluto have a greater or less gravity than earth?
Earth has a much greater mass than Pluto does, and therefore has stronger gravity.
How does the force of gravity on pluto compare to the force of earth?
Compared to earth, the force of gravity on pluto is weak, about 1/17 th that of earth, so 100 kg mass on pluto would "weigh" 100/17 = 5.9 kg
What planet does the moon Charon orbit?
It is undecided whether Charon is Pluto's moon or if it is in a binary planet system with Pluto (which is actually a dwarf planet). But using Pluto's orbit, it takes about 248 Earth years (90,613 days) to orbit the Sun completely.
What's the gravity on Pluto?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
What is the gravity of Pluto?
Pluto's gravity is about 7% that of Earth's. A person weighing 100 pounds on Earth, would weigh a mere 7 pounds on Pluto. The average gravitational acceleration at the surface is 0.58 meters per second2. For comparison, the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 15.94 times greater.
How strong is the pull of gravity on Pluto?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
