It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.
What else can I help you with?
The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?
No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.
What is powered by earth gravity?
Earth gravity powers anything that falls, doing work on it equal to its weight multiplied by the distance it falls, and giving it that much kinetic energy.
Does the sun have less gravity than the earth and moon?
No. The sun's gravity is much stronger than that of Earth or the moon. However, its effect on the tides is less than that of the moon because it is much farther away. Tidal forces diminish with distance more quickly than the force exerted by gravity.
What force of gravity exists at two times the Earth's radius?
Assuming you mean from the center of the Earth: 1/22 = 1/4, that is, 1/4 the gravity at the Earth's surface. If you mean two Earth radii from the surface, then the distance from the Earth's center would be 3 times as much, and the force would be 1/9, compared to the Earth's surface. _______________________________ The force of gravity changes with the reciprocal of the square of the distance. So if the distance is increased by a factor of 2, the force will DECREASE by a factor of two squared, or 4. So, double the distance = one-quarter the force.
Where is there no gravity other than the moon?
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
Why is the force of gravity between you and earth greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
The force of gravity between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them. The Earth has a much greater mass than a car, so the force of gravity between you and Earth is greater. Additionally, your distance from the center of the Earth is much smaller compared to your distance from a car, further contributing to the difference in gravitational force.
Is gravity canceled closer to the earth or moon?
Earth-Moon GravityThe point at which the gravity of the Earth is counterbalanced by the gravity of the Moon is much closer to the Moon. The stronger gravity of Earth has a greater effect for any given distance.Independent GravityThe Earth's gravity is greater than the Moon's, so the Moon would have a lower escape velocity and a lower possible orbit, even neglecting the fact that it has no atmosphere. Gravity diminishes with distance, so the effective gravity at any given distance from the Moon will be much less than the effective gravity at that distance from the Earth.
The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?
No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.
Why is there more gravity on Pluto than on Earth?
There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.
What is powered by earth gravity?
Earth gravity powers anything that falls, doing work on it equal to its weight multiplied by the distance it falls, and giving it that much kinetic energy.
Why is the force of gravity between you and earth is greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The mass of the Earth is much larger than the mass of a car, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull between you and the Earth compared to you and a car. Additionally, the distance between you and the Earth's center is much smaller than the distance between you and a car, further contributing to the greater force of gravity between you and the Earth.
Is there gravity at 36000 kms from the surface of the earth?
Yes. Earth's gravity is still very present at 36,000 km. This is what keeps geosynchronous satellites in orbit. Earth is the dominant gravitational body much farther out than that, to a distance of about 1.5 million km. Beyond that distance there is still gravity, but the sun, not Earth, dominates.
How much is gravity reduced as distance increases?
Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
How much gravity is on the moon compared to Earth?
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.
How much above the surface of earth does the acceleration due to gravity reduces by 36 percent of its value on the surface of earth radius of earth equals 6400 km?
The acceleration due to gravity decreases with distance from the center of the Earth. Using the formula for gravitational acceleration (g) at a distance (r) from the center of the Earth: ( g' = \frac{G \cdot M}{(r+a)^2} ), where a is the radius of the Earth and G is the gravitational constant, you can calculate the distance above the surface of the Earth at which the acceleration due to gravity reduces by 36 percent.
Is there gravity in the exosphere how much?
Since that is very near to Earth - compared to Earth's radius - the gravity will be almost the same as on the surface. If you want to know exactly how much the gravity gets reduced, look up the distance, and use the formula for gravitation.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
