Which inner planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
Earth has enough gravity to hold on to most gases in its atmosphere. This is due to its moderate gravitational force compared to other inner planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?
Yes, the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is enough to hold a modern car. However, the weight of the car would be significantly reduced on the moon compared to Earth.
What moon or planet doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
-- Mercury -- moon of Earth -- moons of Mars -- majority of moons of Jupiter and Saturn Note: While Mars technically has an atmosphere, its density is only around 1% of the density of earth's atmosphere, so Mars is very close to joining the list.
What planet doesn't have enough gravity to have its own moon?
All planets in our solar system have enough gravity to have their own moons. However two, Mercury and Venus, formed in ways that they don't have any moons. Mercury is a borderline case: while its gravity is theoretically capable of holding a moon, its nearness to the sun and rapid orbit mean it would be very difficult for a moon to remain in a stable orbit.
Which planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
Jupiter has enough gravity to hold on to most gases because it is the largest planet in our solar system. Its strong gravitational pull prevents gases from escaping into space, allowing it to maintain its thick atmosphere.
Why doesnt mercury have an atmosphere?
One word- gravity. Mercury is just simply not massive enough to generate the gravity required to hold gases close enough to the surface to create an atmosphere.
Does mercury have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
no, it's way too close to the sun to hold onto an atmosphere without the sun's gravity riping it apart, plus the solar winds are too strong for mercury to hold it's atmosphere.
How is air held in position around the Earth?
By the Earth's gravity. This is why celestial bodies like the Moon and Mercury do not have atmospheres, they don't have enough gravity to hold onto the gases.
Which inner planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
Earth has enough gravity to hold on to most gases in its atmosphere. This is due to its moderate gravitational force compared to other inner planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
Will you float away on the planet mercury?
No. Mercury's surface gravity is less than that of Earth, but it will still hold you to the surface.
Why do Mercury and Mars have no atmospheres?
Their gravity is too weak to hold on to atmospheric gases.
Can there be plant or animal life on Mercury?
no plant or animal life can be found on mercury because there is not enough oxygen gravity.
Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?
Yes, the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is enough to hold a modern car. However, the weight of the car would be significantly reduced on the moon compared to Earth.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Does Saturn have enough gravity to hold water in a pool or grow plants?
what happens when a plant does not have enough water?
What is the math for mercury gravity compared to earth?
mercury gravity: earth gravity
