What else can I help you with?
How come you measure other planets gravity based on earth's gravity?
We always think of unknown things in terms of things that we do know. So if I tell you that a planet's gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared, is that more or less than you are accustomed to? Could you stand up? Actually, that IS Earth's gravity, and yes, you can.
When do you see gravity in action?
Gravity is always in action, pulling objects towards each other. We see gravity in action when we drop something and it falls to the ground, when the planets orbit around the sun, and when we jump and come back down to the Earth.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
What is the terrestial palnet?
Well, terrestrial planets are the planets roughly like Earth, in composition. Terrestrial means "Earth-like". These planets are found before the asteroid belt and the outer gas giant planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars come in this category of terrestrial planets.
Does the gravity that pulls us to the ground come from the sun?
No. The gravity that comes from the Sun pulls us towards the Sun. The gravity that comes from Earth pulls us towards Earth.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
Where do the rings around Saturn come from?
The rings of Saturn are made of meteors in orbit with the other planets gravity which pulls with other planets orbit. Peace Out! K.T
What other planets are closest to the earth?
The planet that can come closest to Earth is Venus. Mars is next, then Mercury.

How come the earth is correctly going around its orbit?
Barring any horrific cataclysm, it is impossible for it to do otherwise. It is doing what planets do under the influence of their star's gravity. Even if the earth were blown into boulder-sized chunks, the chunks would do whatever is natural for them to do in response to gravity and the other forces acting upon them.
Might life which does not originate from planet Earth also have developed on other planets?
Life which does not originate from planet Earth may very well have developed on other planets. There is really no other explanation for where it would have come from.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
What causes gravity to come to earth?
the mass of the earth exerts gravity on all objects around it
Where did the Mercury come from?
Mercury came from the same Solar nebula that the Sun, Earth and the other planets came from.
How come the moon orbits the earth?
