It is more accurate to say that more massive planets have stronger gravity. If a planet had the same mass as Earth but a larger radius (i.e. it is less dense) surface gravity would be weaker, as the strength of gravity depends on both an objects mass and the distance from its center.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Earth has how many times more gravity than the moon?
The moon has about one-sixth the gravity of Earth.
Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?
Yes, gravity affects your weight on different planets. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so on planets with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, and on planets with weaker gravity, you would weigh less compared to your weight on Earth.
Which has a more powerful gravity a small planet or a large planet?
It would depend on the mass of the planets. The surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. If two planets have the same mass but different sizes, the smaller planet will have stronger gravity because the surface is closer to the center of mass. Conversely, if two planets are of the same size, the one with more mass will have stronger gravity. Since larger planets usually have more mass than smaller ones they usually have stronger gravity, though not always.
Why do outer planets have more moons than inner planets?
The outer 4 planets have many more moons than the 4 inner ones. (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth only have a total of three, whereas Jupiter and Saturn have more than 60 each.) The "outer planets" of our solar system (the 4 gas giants) are much larger than the "inner planets". They also have more space between their orbits, and therefore a larger number of small bodies (some of which were captured as moons). The gravitational effect of the Sun is lower, so satellites can orbit at greater distances without being destabilized.
Why do gas giants have more moons the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why do the giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why giant planets have surface gravities very similar to earth's even though they have a lot more mass than the earth?
Giant, or Jovian planets do not have any discernable surface as they are comprised mostly of gases and are more like a liquid inside then solid. Also, these planets are a lot larger then the inner terrestrial planets and have much more gravity. The closest thing that would resemble gravity like the earth would be the moons of the large planets. These are also much smaller then the earth and would be a fraction of the earth.
Why do larger planets have more satellites?
Because since the outer planets are bigger then they have more gravity, drawing more objects toward it.
Does regular planets have weak gravity?
Generally speaking, the bigger or more massive a planet it, the more gravity it has, since gravity and mass are related. the small planets such as Mars and Mercury have a weaker gravity, while the larger planets have a strong gravitational field.
What causes the earth to have gravity?
Earth is hafly big, so it has gravity. Larger, it has more gravity. Smaller, it has less gravity.
Why do larger planets have more natural satellite?
Because since the outer planets are bigger then they have more gravity, drawing more objects toward it.
Why do these gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Is any planet has greater gravity then earth?
All planets with more mass than earth have more gravity than it. So all of the gas giants have far more gravity than Earth.
When you go on different planets it takes more energy to move something than it is on Earth Is it more gravity or less gravity?
Other planets have more or less gravity than Earth, so the energy needed to move things around is also more or less.
Why planets do not move away through their orbit?
GRAVITY... gravity means that objects are "attracted" to other objects, and the larger the object, the more GRAVITY will "attract" the object. The sun's gravity is too large for the planets to overcome.
Is there more gavity on Jupiter than earth?
If you mean gravity,the bigger a planet is, the larger the gravity, so yes,Jupitar has more gravity than earth.
