The force due to gravity of a planet is dependent on the mass of that planet (and to a lesser extent the radius/diameter). If a planet is less massive then it will have a lower gravitational force.

Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?

No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.


Does planet Uranus have more or less gravity than earth?

The "surface gravity" is less on Uranus.


Why does the weightyou havechange from planet to planet?

the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.


Can planet grow without gravity?

Gravity comes with mass so since a planet has mass there is some gravity. the bigger the planet the more mass it has. smaller planets have less gravity. so either way there is always some gravity on a planet.


Why does this planet have less gravity than the Earth?

because it has less mass.

What is the force that makes you weight change planet to planet?

gravity if you are on a huge planet like juipiter there is a lot of gravity so you wiegh a lot but if youare on a planet like Pluto there is a small amount of gravity so you wigh less


Is there more or less gravity on your planet than on earth?

No. My planet (and presumably yours as well) is Earth.


What would happen if the earth rotation slowed down?

If the Earth's rotation slowed down, our we would have less gravity, and when we have less gravity we have things floating around for long nights and long days (also due to the planet slowing down). This can lead to many dis functions and could cause the appearance of anti-matter.


Why is your gravity less on other planets?

On other planets your gravity doesn't change. Your weight however changes based on the mass of the planet. For example, on a planet with less mass than Earth, a person will weigh less than they normally do.


Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?

No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
