The gravitational force is set by the mass but also by how far away you are.

The gravitational force on Earth is six times greater than that on the moon.


What is Jupiter's gravitational force?

The gravitational force of Jupiter is thought to be 24.79 m/s2. That is 2.5 times the gravitational pull of Earth.


What planet has a force of gravity 0.894 times that on Earth?

Uranus.


Why is the gravitational force for mercury is thirty eight times than the earth?

It isn't. It is 0.38 times that of the earth.


If the earth were placed five times farther from the sun how would the gravitational effect of the sun on the earth change?

The gravitational force would be 1/25 of the current value. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.


Is the gravitational force of the sun is greater than that of Earth?

The gravitational force of the sun is many thousands of times greater than that of Earth. This is due to the enormous difference in mass between the two.


What is the gravitational force of the planet pulling on the sun causes?

The gravitational force from a planet on the sun is so small. For example, 1,000,000 Earths can fit in the sun. The mass of the sun is 333,000 times bigger than the Earth. It is the same way you on Earth. You have a gravitational force on the Earth but it is so small.


How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?

The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.


What will be the change in earths gravitational force if the mass of earth is made 4 times?

It will be 4 times as great


Is the Sun's gravitational force larger or smaller than the Earth's?

about 330,000 times stronger


If the moon were 5 times farther from earth the gravitational force from earth would be?

The gravitational force is 'mutual' ... both of the bodies involved experience equal forces toward the other.In the gravitational attraction between the earth and you, the earth is attracted toward you with a forceequal to your weight.If the earth and moon were five times as far apart as they are today, the force on each toward the otherwould decrease to (1/52) = (1/25th) = 4% of what it is today.


What is the force of gravity in Uranus?

The gravitational field near the "surface" is about 8.69 meters/second2 (= 8.69 newton/kilogram). For comparison, Earth's gravity field near its surface is about 9.82 meters/second2. Please note that the gas planets, including Uranus, don't really have a surface like Earth does.
