Does earth have more gravity or Ceres?
Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.
Does Uranus have Weaker or stronger gravity than Earth?
The "surface gravity" is slightly less than on Earth.
Does the sun have more or less gravity than earth?
I think the planet earth has more gravity
Why does earth have gravity when earth is in space?
because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
Is Jupiter's gravity stronger then Earth's?
No. The gravity of Jupiter more than twice as strong as that on Earth.
What is powered by earth gravity?
Earth gravity powers anything that falls, doing work on it equal to its weight multiplied by the distance it falls, and giving it that much kinetic energy.
What is the gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
Is letting a pencil fall to the ground work?
no, you're not doing the work, the gravity is doing the work by pulling it towards the core of the earth.
How is a body still while the earth rotates?
It is due to gravity AND the earth turns slowly. The gravity has a force which makes you look like standing straight and if you're a Vietnamese, you'll be standing sideways because the "force" of gravity is doing its job.
How does the moon crontrol gravity on earth?
No. The earth has its own gravity. The lunar gravity causes tides on earth, but does not control earth's gravity.
Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?
No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.
What does the earth's gravitational attraction prevent gases from doing?
The Earth's gravitational attraction prevents gasses from escaping into outer space.
How does gravity help water wheel turn?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the water down to Earth, and the water in turn turns the wheel. So in effect gravity is doing all the work.
What is Charon's gravity compared to Earth's gravity?
The gravity of Charon is about 3% that of Earth.
On what day will the earth have no gravity?
Earth will always have gravity for gravity is a result of mass.
What is the math for mercury gravity compared to earth?
mercury gravity: earth gravity
