No, a planet's moons and atmosphere do not directly affect its gravity. Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.
What else can I help you with?
Does space have an atmosphere or is it only planets that have them?
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
Does gravity effect celestial bodies?
Yes, gravity affects celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and moons. Gravity is the force that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other, keeping planets in orbit around stars and moons in orbit around planets. The strength of gravity between celestial bodies is determined by their masses and distances from each other.
What was the name of the scientist who showed that gravity keeps planets and moons in orbit?
Isaac Newton
Why do the gas planets have many moons?
The gas planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets and therefore have stronger gravity. It is believed that as they formed many of their moons formed around them much like the planets formed around the sun. Other moons are likely captured asteroids and comets.
How planets and moon are alike and different?
Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a larger body, such as a star like the Sun. However, planets are typically larger in size, have more mass, and are able to support their own atmosphere, while moons are smaller and often lack an atmosphere of their own. Moons generally orbit around planets, while planets orbit around stars.
How does the grivity effect the planets and moons?
Gravity helps to keep the planets in orbit. It also helps to keep the moon's close to the planets.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
In what ways are planets different?
They do not have the exact same color, mass, diameter, number of moons, atmosphere composition, name, or gravity.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What would happen to planets and their moons if there were no gravity?
If there was no gravity, the Sun and and the planets would never have formed.
What keeps the planets and moons in their orbit?
gravity
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planets or a moons gravity and had been pulled away from the suns gravity true or false?
false, meters are asteroids in the earth atmosphere
What captures most of the planets moons?
the gravitational pull of the gravity of the planet so in other words bigger planets more gravity, smaller planet less gravity. usually bigger planets have more moons
Is there grivity on Jupiter?
There is gravity. There is gravity on all planets, moons, and stars.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
