The escape velocity on the planet Saturn is 35.5 kilometre per second. That is, a body has to be projected with a velocity of 35.5 kilometre per second so that it can escape from the gravitational pull of the planet. (Escape velocity on the earth is about 11.2 kilometre per second.)

What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?

The escape velocity from the surface of Mars is about 5.0 km/s (3.1 miles/s). This means that a spacecraft would need to reach this speed to break free from Mars' gravity and enter into space.


There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?

The moon's escape velocity is lower than the average velocity of gas particles in its atmosphere, so the moon cannot retain an atmosphere as the gas particles would escape into space. This is why the moon has no significant atmosphere.


Is orbital velocity the velocity a rocket must reach to fly off into space?

No.Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field


What is the escape velocity of the moon Charon?

The escape velocity of Charon, the largest moon of Pluto, is about 550 meters per second. This is the minimum velocity an object must have to overcome Charon's gravitational pull and escape into space.


How fast must an object go to leave a planets gravity?

The speed that ab object must travel at to escape a planet's gravity is called escape velocity. This value varies depending on the mass and diameter of the planet. Here are the escape volcities of the eight planets of our solar system. Mercury: 9,400 mph Venus: 23,000 mph Earth: 25,000 mph Mars: 11,000 mph Jupiter: 133,000 mph Saturn: 77,000 mph Uranus: 48,000 mph Neptune: 53,000 mph Note that escape velocity only takes gravity into account and ignores other forces. An object launched from Earth's surface or from any other planet with a substantial atmosphere at escape velocity would be quickly destroyed and slowed down by air resistance.

Is the escape velocity of hydrogen at mars more than it's gravity or in other words can hydrogen in gaseous state exist on the planet mars?

Hydrogen probably cannot exist for a long time on Mars. As you suggest this is because of the planet's fairly low gravity and escape velocity. It's easier for a very light atom or molecule, such as hydrogen, to reach the planet's escape velocity, caused by collisions in the atmosphere.


If stand on equator of Mars and fire a rocket from there which planet shall the rocket hit the quickest?

The simple answer is that unless the rocket achieves escape velocity, the planet it hits would be Mars. Due to the rotation of the planets, if it did reach escape velocity, it would depend on the position of the planets and the path into space it took.
