Oh honey, asteroids may be floating rocks in space, but they still pack a little gravity punch - just enough to keep their shape together. However, their gravity is weak sauce compared to good old Mother Earth. You wouldn't want to plan a moonwalk on an asteroid unless you fancy a faceplant.
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.
There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.
The sun's gravity doesn't necessarily cause the asteroids to move, however it does cause the asteroids to move the way that they do move. For example, let's take away the sun. Any asteroids around the sun would continue to move at the same rate that is was moving prior to the sun being taken away. However, instead of following an elliptical orbit around the sun, the asteroid would move in a straight line instead. So the asteroids can still move without the sun. However, it is the sun that makes the asteroids orbit around the sun. The orbit's tendency to want to move away in a straight line counteracts the gravity created by the sun. The results of these two forces is what causes the asteroids elliptical orbit.
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
Well, isn't that just the most interesting question you've asked today? You see, the moon's gravity helps to deflect some asteroids away from Earth, acting like a sort of silent guardian in the night sky. It's nature's way of reminding us that even in the darkness, there can be something beautiful and protective looking out for us.
Asteroids are much smaller, and have very little, if any, atmosphere. They also do not have enough gravity to bring them into a ball shape, so they remain erratic in shape.
Not only is gravity found on the Earth and the Moon, but on all objects in space. Gravity is what's holding you on the ground no matter how high you can jump. The Sun's gravity is so strong that it keeps the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids in orbit around it.
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.
Jumping on the moon is different from jumping on Earth because the moon has weaker gravity, so you can jump higher and farther. This is because the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity.
Asteroids have very little gravity, no atmosphere, and no protection from solar radiation. So they cannot support life.
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
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
thay are part of our earth dumbo
i dont think so
There is no real distance at which this occurs. Asteroids are generally moving too fast to be simply pulled in by earth's gravity, though their paths can be altered. As evidence of this, ab object that is simply pulled in by Earth's gravity would strike the surface at close to escape velocity, which is about 25,000 mph for Earth. Most asteroids are moving much faster. In many cases, a collision happens when an orbital resonance develops. Earth's gravity periodically jostles the asteroid's path so that it will pass fairly close to earth at regular intervals until that paths intersect and a collision occurs.
An object on the moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. That's about 1/6 as much.
Earth is hafly big, so it has gravity. Larger, it has more gravity. Smaller, it has less gravity.
