Earth has a much greater mass than Pluto does, and therefore has stronger gravity.

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.


What is the relative gravity of Pluto?

Pluto's mass is estimated at only 1/155th of Earth's. The gravity there would be 1/15th Earth gravity.


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)


What is the gravity of Pluto?

Pluto's gravity is about 7% that of Earth's. A person weighing 100 pounds on Earth, would weigh a mere 7 pounds on Pluto. The average gravitational acceleration at the surface is 0.58 meters per second2. For comparison, the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 15.94 times greater.


What is the number of gravity on Pluto?

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is 0.583 m/s2 . That's 5.94 percent of its value on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 11pounds 14.2ounces on 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.


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.


Is the force of gravity stronger or weaker on pluto then earth?

Much weaker. Pluto is a dwarf planet and much less massive than earth, so it has lesser granitational force at it's surface.
