What else can I help you with?
Why are small moons like Deimos potato shaped while larger moons are spherical?
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
What is facts about moons gravity?
1. it is 6 times less than gravity on earth 2. 3.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
What fraction of earth gravity the moons gravity?
An object on the Moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. The fraction is roughly 1/6.
What fraction of earth's gravity is moons gravity?
An object on the Moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. The fraction is roughly 1/6.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
How do you get he answer what fraction of the gravity is the Moon's?
-- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth. -- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. -- Divide the Moon's number by the Earth's number. The answer is the fraction of Earth's gravity that you'll encounter on the moon. -- You can do the same for every planet in the solar system, plus several moons and asteroids.
What fraction of the planets does not have moons?
Mercury has no moons, Venus has no moons, that is 2 Earth Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all have moons, that is 6 Therefore the fraction of planets with out moons in the solar system is 1/3
What keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
Is our moons gravity one sixth of earth's gravity?
Yes, approximately.
Is there grivity on Jupiter?
There is gravity. There is gravity on all planets, moons, and stars.
What does the galilean moons have to do with gravity?
Gravity keeps them in orbit around Jupiter.
Why do Jupiter and Saturn have many moons?
because their gravity is so strong that the moons are pulled in.
