If you weight 100 newtons on earth how many newtons on mercury?

That's a very low weight; approximately the weight of a small baby. Anyway, gravity on Earth is 9.8 newton/kilogram, gravity on Mercury is 3.7 newton/kilogram. You can write a proportion for that; or else you can first work out the mass, then use this to calculate the weight on Mercury.


What is gravity's role in the expansion of the Universe?

It was believed for quite a while that gravity would slow the expansion of the Universe down. But it is now known that the Universe is expanding faster and faster (apparently it tends towards an exponential growth), so there must be something else, that is pushing the Universe apart, more strongly than gravity can it together. This "something" is called "dark energy".


What happened if the gravity in earth is zero?

If the gravity of the Earth was 0, the law of uniformity would mean that gravity everywhere else in the universe would also be 0 and it therefore could not exist. If you somehow managed to make just the Earth's gravity 0 the planet would fly apart as a result of the centrifugal force of its spin and the Moon would fly off and orbit the Sun on its own.


Who says things are fall down in earth due to gravity?

That concept was originated and developed in detail by Sir Isaac Newton, in the 17th Century. The theory is impossible to 'prove'. But it does accurately explain the motions of all the planets in our solar system, and if we use Newton's mathematics to plan the routes of spacecraft, then they always go where we want them to go. But none of this 'proves' the theory. If you or anyone else brings reproducible evidence showing that the theory is wrong, then it'll be thrown out, and a better explanation will be sought. That's how science works.


What is the source of gravity of moon?

The source of gravity on the Moon is its mass. Gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass towards one another, and the amount of gravity depends on the mass of an object. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity due to its smaller mass.

What would happen if we didn't discover gravity?

well, to be honest, if sir Issac Newton didn't discover the law of gravity, someone else probably will came up with that.

How does gravity influence the sun and planets?

One way is that without gravity the earth and sun would fall apart because there is nothing else to hold them together.


What does an apple have to do with gravity?

Because Sir Isaac Newton was one day watching an apple fall from a tree. Eventually he had come up wiith the force of gravity. Also, apples are affected by gravity, just like nearly everything else.

Is discover?

To discover is a verb meaning to find something, and usually the first to discover it. A discoverer is a noun, meaning someone who discovers something. However, learners can discover knowledge new to them--even though someone else discovered that knowledge originally. For example, Newton discovered gravity-- in class experiments, a student today 'discovers' the truth of Newton's original discovery but the student is not the original discoverer.There is a huge difference between a discoverer and an inventor. A discoverer finds or explains a principle that already existed, but needed discovered. An inventor creates something that did not exist before, or a new version of something previously invented. As an example, several men were working on inventing the telephone-- Bell just got to the patent office first.
