The planet that has the largest acceleration of gravity is Jupiter. The planet with the least amount of gravity is Mercury. Actually, Pluto has less gravity than Mercury, but Pluto is not classified as a planet any more.
Well, honey, gravity ain't picky - it's the same everywhere! Both Mars and Mercury have gravity, but Mars is a bit heavier with about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth, while Mercury is even lighter with about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth. So, technically, they're both playing in the same gravity sandbox, just with different sized buckets.
Mercury, with a mass of 0.055 times that of the Earth.Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, and has the lowest mass.
By a very slim margin you would weigh the least on Mercury, where gravity is 37% the strength of it is on Earth. This is only a tiny bit less than the gravity of Mars, which is 37.11% of Earth's gravity.
All planets have gravity to some degree due to their mass. Gravity is what keeps objects, including planets, in orbit around the sun.
Mercury has the smallest mass of the 8 planets at 5.5% of the mass of the Earth. It therefore has the least gravity of all the planets.
Planets have gravity because they have mass.
Generally speaking, the bigger or more massive a planet it, the more gravity it has, since gravity and mass are related. the small planets such as Mars and Mercury have a weaker gravity, while the larger planets have a strong gravitational field.
The planet that has the largest acceleration of gravity is Jupiter. The planet with the least amount of gravity is Mercury. Actually, Pluto has less gravity than Mercury, but Pluto is not classified as a planet any more.
All mass produces a gravity field. All planets have mass. Therefore all planets have gravity.
Gravity behaves exactly the same on Mercury as it does on Earth. The forces between Mercury and any other mass are proportional to the product of Mercury's mass and the other mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between Mercury's center and the other object's center. Mercury's size is about 38% as big as the Earth's size, which would place the center of an object on its surface closer to the planet's center, and cause a greater gravitational force. But its mass is only 5.5% of Earth's mass. So the force of gravity between Mercury and an object on its surface winds up being only about 37% of the gravitational force on the same object when it's on Earth's surface. That means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 37 pounds on Mercury.
They do not have the exact same color, mass, diameter, number of moons, atmosphere composition, name, or gravity.
No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.

The gravity of a planet like Mercury is directly proportional to its mass. This means that as the mass of Mercury increases, so does its gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two masses, and the larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
Planets with a large amount of mass.
Planets have different fields of gravity because their mass and size vary. The larger and more massive a planet is, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. The strength of gravity on a planet is determined by its mass and radius.
