What happens to the gravity on large and small planet?
Gravity depends largely on mass, the bigger the planet the greater the gravity should be
The acceleration due to gravity at the equator?
about 9.795m/s2 but9.8m/s2 is almost always used.Note: centripetal acceleration (from the earth's spin) cause apparent gravity to be about 0.3% less than actual gravity (about 9.767m/s2) at the equatoryou can find the acceleration of gravity on any planet by the equation:a=G(M/R2) where 'a' is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (about .0000000000667), M is the mass of the earth ( or other planet), and R is the radius of the earth (or other planet)References:A.P. Physics class
Which planets have the largest accelerations of gravity?
The planet that has the largest acceleration of gravity is Jupiter. The planet with the least amount of gravity is Mercury. Actually, Pluto has less gravity than Mercury, but Pluto is not classified as a planet any more.
Do larger planets have more gravity?
Not always. The force of gravity is given by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: F=(Gm1m2)/r2 So if a planet had twice the mass of the earth, and the same radius, gravity would be twice as strong. However, if you had a huge planet that weighed the same as the earth (let's say it had a radius 3x greater), then gravity would be 9 times weaker at the surface. The reason big planets like Jupiter have so much gravity is becuase they have A LOT more mass than the earth does.
Which planet has the most gravity?
The answer is actually Jupiter.The acceleration due to gravity is greater on the surface of Jupiter than it isat the surface of any other planet in our solar system (assuming that a surfacecan be defined for each planet).
What is the effect of gravity on the planets?
simple, the larger the planet, the greater the force of gravity.
How is the planets size related to the pull of its gravity?
The larger the mass of the planet, the greater the force of its gravity.
What factors affect the acceleration due to gravity on a planet and how?
By far the most significant factor is the mass of the planet, thus, primarily effects which alter mass would be those which affect the gravitational field. There are some relativistic effects which can affect mass or gravity such as speeds approaching that of light, and also spin which can alter the radial component of the gravitational field, through the frame dragging effect (usually explained through general relativity's description of gravitation as a curvature of spacetime).
Will Mars exert a smaller force of gravity on an object than Neptune?
Yes. That is because the acceleration due to gravity (ag) is larger on Neptune than on Mars. Ag on Neptune is 14.07 m/s2, while ag on Mars is 3.77 m/s2. (For comparison, ag on earth is 9.8 m/s2.)Gravity can be described using this equation:Fg = magwhere m is the mass of an object on a planet, and a is the acceleration due to gravity on a planet.If the mass is constant (the same object on each planet), the value of the force of gravity will be larger on Neptune because the acceleration is larger.
How is the size of a planet related to the thickness of it's atmosphere.?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
How is the the size of a planet is related to it's thickness of atmosphere?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
Why the gravity of some planet is less or more than the gravity of the Earth?
More Mass = Greater "surfacegravity".But also alarger diameter = Less "surface gravity".So, for example, if the planet is larger than Earthand has more mass then the gravitational force at its surfacecould be greater or lessthan Earth's.
How does the amount of gravity on a planet affect the thickness of the atmosphere?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration of gravity on a planet determines how fast an object will fall when dropped, affecting the weight of objects on the surface. This acceleration also impacts the force needed for objects to stay grounded or lifted from the surface. Overall, gravity's acceleration is essential in understanding an object's behavior on the planet's surface.
Which possesses greater gravity Jupiter or earth?
Jupiter. It's gravity is 2.528 times greater than earths.
How does the gravity of the planet vary with its mass?
The larger the planet mass, the bigger force of gravity it has.
