1) The correct units are "Newtons per kilogram", because the gravitational

force depends on how many kilograms are being "pulled" by the planet.

2) The force depends on the distance from the centre of the planet. It is usual

to give the force at the surface, the "surface gravity".

Now here's the data, in Newtons per kilogram (rounded to the nearest whole number for the giant planets) :-

Mercury : 3.71

Venus : 8.90

Earth : 9.81

Mars : 3.70

Jupiter : 26

Saturn : 11

Uranus : 9

Neptune : 12

These numbers are fairly accurate, but you may find slight variations, depending on the source of the data.

What are the planets gravitational pull in Newtons?

No object has a pull in Newtons, or in pounds either, and I can prove it . . .My dog and I are both standing outside, on the earth.The force between the earth and me is 822 newtons (185 pounds).The force between the earth and my dog is 400 newtons (90 pounds).The force between the earth and that object he just deposited in our neighbor's yard is at least 8.9 newtons (2 pounds).Obviously, the earth pulls different objects with different forces.(And each object pulls the earth right back with the same force.)The force between the planet and the object depends on BOTH masses,AND the distance between their centers.


The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?

Yes, the sun's gravitational pull is what keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the planets' paths and prevents them from moving off into space.


Why are the planets considered satellites to the sun?

Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.


Does gravity pull on planets?

the rule of gravity is the greater mass a planet is the stronger its gravitational pull is so the suns mass is so heavy that its gravitational pull is so strong it keeps all the planets in line


Is Mars round?

The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.

What is the source of gravitational pull on the planets?

The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!

What holds all the planets in order?

Gravitational force is what holds all the planets in their orbits around the sun. This force is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets in their respective orbits.


How did all the planets be where they are?

Three of them were grabbed by the gravitational pull of the local star. There are planets that are not in our solar system.


How does all the planets orbit around one another?

gravitational pull


What is Neptune's gravitational factor?

At Neptune's surface, it is 1.13 times that of gravitational pull of Earth. Of all the planets, it has the seventh strongest pull on Earth.


How are the planets able to orbit the sun?

Its all thanks to the Sun's gravitational pull.


What is the source of gravitational pull on all planets?

since the sun is so hot i creates such a strange atmosphere that it turns a half of it into a gravitational pull. By Alice


What did newton call the force that pulls all the planets towards the sun?

Gravitational Pull?


Why gravitational force of son didn't pull earth towards it?

Because Earth and all the other planets and moons have a gravitational pull. This pull is distributed so that everthing stays in orbit.


Why do all the planets revolve around the sun?

Planets revolve around the Sun due to gravitational force, which is strongest at the center of mass of a system. The Sun's immense gravity pulls the planets towards it, causing them to orbit around it in elliptical paths. This balance of gravitational forces keeps the planets in their orbits.


What the gravitational pull of the sun?

That explanation is logical however the sun DOES have a gravitational force because all the planets orbit around the sun.
