How strong is the gravity on Mars compared to earths?

it is 38% of earths gravity. Fun fact- Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system YAY


How does the suns gravity compares to earths gravity?

The sun gravity is stronger


Does the pull of gravity work on the moon?

yes. everything that has a mass has gravity, including urself. but on the moon the gravity is only 17% as strong as earths gravity


what effects how strong earths gravity is?

The Earth's mass, and how far you are from the center of the Earth.


How strong is the gravity compared with earths gravity?

The question neglects to mention what other place it wants compared to Earth, so no comparison is possible.


What is stronger than earths gravity?

The gravity of a black hole is stronger than Earth's gravity. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from them.


After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?

There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.


Why a falling falling object subjected to earth's gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

A: because earths gravity cannot be harnessed forever unless the earth is moving with you. B: because earths gravity is not strong enough to pull you along unless you are in space as friction from air resistance will stop you.


How does the earth keep the moon at fix distance away?

Earths gravity isn't strong enough to pull it into the Earth, however it is strong enough to keep it from drifting away.


Is there any effect of gravity on atomicforces?

there is no effect of gravity on atomic forces because gravity is very very weak than the atomic forces(Gravitational Force = 10-38 Atomic forces, Weak=10-13 Strong=1).


What effect does the earths magnetic field have on its gravitational pull?

As far as we can tell, electromagnetism and gravity are two entirely separate forces. They have no effect on each other at all.Many top-flight scientists including Einstein and Hawking have worked on a "unified field theory" that would explain how the four distinct atomic forces are related. The four forces are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravity. There has been some progress in explaining the electromagnetic force in its relationship to the weak nuclear force, but so far gravity and the strong nuclear force seem unrelated.


What effect does gravity have on Neptune?

Gravity on Neptune is responsible for holding the planet together and keeping its atmosphere in place. The strong gravitational pull of Neptune also affects its moons and nearby objects in space, controlling their orbits and movements.
