Is it true that the bigger the planet the stronger the gravity?

For the most part, yes. But the actual determining factor for how much gravity a planet has is based on its mass, and since size and mass are often related it is somewhat accurate to say that the bigger the planet is, the more gravity it will have.

True or false erosion is the transportation of weathered pieces of bedrock through the agents of wind water and gravity?
True
What is true about an object falling toward Earth?
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
Is it true or false that winds are caused by differences in air pressure?
yes this is true. this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater
How does the water stay on the Earth?
Because the earth's atmosphere creates consistent heat above freezing but bellow evaporating temperature, so the water doesn't freeze but is always effected by gravity. Comets and meteorites that impact earth also carry water. SOME water also melts when in direct sunlight (though not all if the planet/object does not have an atmosphere).
How does gravity effect basketball?
It is very useful to have gravity present on the court while a basketball game is inprogress. It makes the game more exciting. Gravity holds the players down on thefloor, and if one of them should jump up, it always brings him back down so that hemay continue his participation in the game with all of his team-mates which I am surethey all appreciate. Also in addition as well, gravity helps immeasurably in theskillful art of dribbling the ball, and finally but not least, whenever a playerbecomes inspired to attempt a score and throws the ball out of his hands andaway from himself in an upward direction, gravity is always there to pull the balldown after it has reached a certain amount of altitude and hopefully through thehoop. If gravity could not be relied upon, then the only possible way to scorewould be through the hoop in the upward direction, following which the ball mightvery well come to rest on the ceiling, and a new ball would need to be put intoplay. Yes it's true. Gravity is our good friend and we are lucky to have it, especiallywhere it comes to exciting competitive sports.
Why is gravity in some planets more some not?
Gravity is stronger on some planets because the planet's core is much more dense. Making it's gravitational pull stronger. Which is making gravity stronger. that is sortof true
Is it true that the bigger the planet the more gravity it has?
Well sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. That old saying is not nessary true. Because there are plenty of planets in the universe that are the same size as earth but have less gravity than earth.
Is gravity stronger when things are far apart?
true
The bigger the roundness size of the planet the more atmosphere?
that is not true
Is it true that Earth is the only planet with gravity?
No, that's not true. All planets, moons, and stars have gravity. Actually all objects have gravity, it's just not very strong for small objects.
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.
True or false rotation implies orbital motion of a planet about a star for astronomers?
Yes because if a Star has a planet the gravity of the planet will rock it back and forth
Is it true that a greater object has a stronger pull of gravity acting on it?
yes it is true.we just learned that yesterday.
Are wolves stronger than cheetahs?
No cheetahs are stronger they are faster and bigger I love wolves I wish they were stronger but no(I watched it on tv and read a book a bout it it is true) if you need to get more info google it
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planet's or a moon's gravity and has been pulled away from the sun's gravity true or false?
Sort of a Meteor is a part of an Asteroid, but it starts to burn up in entering the earths atmosphere
Is it true that the force exerted by gravity is stronger if two objects are closer?
Yes it is because because hte closer they are the greater the force.
Is a star bigger than a planet?
in most cases, a star is bigger than a planet. yet, both stars and planets have different sizes, such as a white dwarf star is smaller than Jupiter.
