Acceleration of gravity on Earth . . 9.807 m/s2

Acceleration of gravity on Pluto . . 0.583 m/s2 . . . 5.94% of the figure on Earth.

A man who weighs 200pounds on Earth would weigh 11pounds 14.2ounces on Pluto.

the equatorial surface gravity if Pluto is 0.58 m/s^2.

its escape velocity is 1.2 km/s.

By quite a bit as earth is much more massive than Pluto.

=========================

Answer #2:

The acceleration of gravity on Pluto's surface, and therefore the weight of any object

located there, is 5.9 percent of the corresponding number on the Earth's surface.

An astronaut who weighs 200 pounds on Earth would weigh 11pounds 14ounces on Pluto.

How much gravity does a planet have?

We don't have a unit for the amount of gravity that a planet possesses. But a good measure is the planet's mass, because the force of gravity on a standard mass at a standard distance is proportional to the planet's mass.

Pluto is believed to have a mass which is 0.00218 that of the Earth. Therefore Pluto has 0.00218 as much gravity as Earth.

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 would gravity do to a person on pluto?

No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.


Why is the level of gravity different on pluto than earth?

The amount of gravity you get is dependent on the size of the planet/object. Pluto's gravitational pull is much less than that of Earth due to Pluto being much lighter.Earth has a much greater mas than Pluto does.Pluto is a smaller planet and has less of a gravitational pull


Why is there more gravity on Pluto than on Earth?

There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.


How high is the gravity on Pluto?

Pluto's gravity is relatively light. It is less than seven percent of earth's gravity: 0.067g (1.0g is one earth (g)ravity)


Why do you weigh more on earth than on Pluto?

you don't its because earth has more mass that it has more gravidy then Pluto


Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?

The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.


Does venus have a weaker or stronger gravity?

There is less oxygen on Pluto of all planets because it is a lot smallerno, it is lesserweakerPluto has a weaker pull than that of and planet, even Mercury!Pluto's gravitational pull is much less than that of Earth due to their difference in size.No. Pluto has a much less mass than earthLess. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the planet and the object, but, relative to the same object, the force of gravity on Pluto is much less than on Earth, because Pluto is much less massive than Earth. According to Wikipedia, the acceleration due to gravity on Pluto is 0.067g or 6.7% of gravity on Earth.


Mars and Pluto have just about the same mass which planet has greater gravity and why?

Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.


Is Pluto's gravity more or less than earth's if so what would an object weigh on Pluto?

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is 0.658 meters/second2 ... about 7% of the corresponding number on the Earth's surface. A man who weighs 200pounds on Earth would weigh 13pounds 6.7ounces on Pluto.


Is there more or less gravity on Neptune then on earth?

Neptune has slightly more gravity than Earth. It is believed that the gravity is 17% greater than Earth's.


Would a person be crushed by extreme gravity on Pluto?

Pluto's mass is only about 1/455th of Earth's and its gravity would be 1/15th. Earth-type plants could grow immensely tall. Insects and animals could run faster and jump farther. However, the incredibly frigid temperature on Pluto (only 30 to 50°C above absolute zero) makes native lifeforms unlikely, unless very different from terrestrial forms.


Why moon has less g value then earth?

The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
