From least to greatest- Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Venus, Earth, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter

IMPORTANT NOTE: Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational pull.
By attraction at the planetary "surface" the order is:

Mars and Mercury (almost the same, a bit less on Mars)

Uranus*

Venus

(Earth)

Saturn*

Neptune*

Jupiter*

* Calculated at the 1 bar (Earth sea level pressure) location within their atmospheres - they have no actual surfaces to stand on, so anything placed there would be pulled down deeper unless it was less dense than that. As you go farther out from a planet's surface, the gravitational attraction decreases.

What planet in your solar system has the least attraction to the sun?

Venus actually has a harsher climate than Mercury even though it is further from the sun, and it is surrounded by clouds of CO2 and sulphur. Mercury also probably has ice while venus probably does not. Therefore venus is probably the least hospitable.


Which planet has the least gravitational attraction?

Mars, although Mercury is a very close second.Mercury is the smallest of the 8 major planets, and has the least mass. However, it is dense, and its smaller size means that it has slightly higher gravity *at its surface* than Mars does, even though Mars has about twice the mass of Mercury.Mars = 0.376 g (Earth gravity)Mercury = 0.38 g (Earth gravity)* Previously, Pluto had the smallest size and lowest surface gravity. But it is now classified with other dwarf planets and distant planetary bodies, which so far are all smaller than Mercury.


What planets do most known extrasolar planets least resemble?

They least resemble rocky planets like Venus Earth and Mars, particularly they least resemble planets that we would consider as possible life sustaining planets.


What would you say is the strongest force in our universe the Sun the Moon or Earth Support your answer with at least two facts.?

Short answer: None of these is a force.They do EXERT forces; in case you specifically refer to gravitation, none of these is "the strongest force in our Universe". Of the three, the Sun has the greatest gravitational attraction, since it has the largest mass.


What source keeps the planets in place?

first it is not a source it is a force. There are at least two equal and opposite forces that keep an object in an orbit. Gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity is an attraction which is proportional to the product of the two gravitating bodies divided by the square of the distance between them. Without a force to counteract this attraction, the bodies would move toward each other, the distance decreases, the force between them increase and the two bodies will eventually collide. Centrifugal force on the other hand is a force generated by the radial acceleration of a body moving on a curve. Thus as the planet revolved around a star, centrifugal force is generated which is opposite in direction to the gravitational attraction of the planet and the star. Balance is therefore attained and the planet stays in its orbit. This is the same thing that happens between a star and the core of the galaxy where it is located. The star and its planetary complement revolve around the core of the galaxy and the centrifugal force generated by the revolution counteracts the attraction of the galactic core and the star, hence balance is maintained.

What has the least gravitational force?

The least gravitational force occurs in objects with very small masses, such as tiny particles or atoms. These objects have minimal gravitational attraction compared to larger bodies like planets or stars.

Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?

The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.

What is the term for the greatest distance between two planets?

Two planets are at their greatest separation when they are on opposite sides of the Sun. When a planet is at its greatest separation from the Earth the planet is said to be at superior conjunction. It cannot be seen until it has separated out from the Sun, which usually takes a few weeks at least.
