Do planets moons atmosphere effect its gravity?
No, a planet's moons and atmosphere do not directly affect its gravity. Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Masses of the planets are easiest to determine if?
the planet has moons or satellites orbiting around it. By observing the orbital motion of the moons, scientists can calculate the mass of the planet based on the laws of gravity and motion.
What is the gravity on the planet Io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter, not a planet. Surface gravity is about 18% of the gravity on Earth.
Do planets moons atmosphere effect its gravity?

Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
What planet has shepherd satellites?
Saturn. These moons affect Saturn's rings by their gravity and so they sort of "shepherd" the rings in some places.
What captures most of the planets moons?
the gravitational pull of the gravity of the planet so in other words bigger planets more gravity, smaller planet less gravity. usually bigger planets have more moons
What happens when a planet has 2 moons?
When a planet has two moons, both moons would interact with the planet's gravity and affect each other's orbits. This can lead to complex gravitational interactions between the moons, causing changes in their orbits over time. The presence of two moons can also influence tidal forces on the planet, affecting its surface and climate.
Does the mass of a planet seem to affect how many moon it has?
Yes, the mass of a planet can influence the number of moons it has. A planet's gravity can capture objects like satellites and smaller bodies, increasing the likelihood of having more moons. Additionally, larger planets with stronger gravitational pull generally have more moons compared to smaller planets.
Does the size of a planet affect the moons of a planet?
yes it does cause i got that in my essay
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
Does he size of the planet seem to affect how many moons it has?
yes
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
