The gravitational field of Earth - or any other object for that matter - gets weaker and weaker at larger distances, but never entirely drops to zero.

What is Jupiter's surface temperature range?

Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth, so it does not have a surface temperature. The temperature near the top of Jupiter's clouds is around -145 degrees Celsius (-234 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature increases as you move towards the core of the planet due to the intense pressure and heat generated by gravitational compression.


Where earth gravitationl force become zero?

Because there is no range limit on the gravitational force, the gravitational force of the earth is only zero in the exact centre of the earth, where it cancels itself out. Realistically, the force is so small outside the immediate vicinity of earth, that it may as well be zero.


How do you calculate the tidal range and what factors influence it?

The tidal range is calculated by subtracting the height of the low tide from the height of the high tide. Factors that influence the tidal range include the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, the shape of the coastline, and the depth of the water.


How does the alignment of the sun moon and earth affect tidal range?

The alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth significantly affects tidal range through the gravitational forces they exert on Earth's water bodies. When the Sun and Moon are aligned during full and new moons, their combined gravitational pull results in higher high tides and lower low tides, known as spring tides, creating a larger tidal range. Conversely, when the Sun and Moon are at right angles relative to Earth during the first and third quarters, their gravitational forces partially cancel each other out, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides, called neap tides, which produce a smaller tidal range.


What range does a telescopically lens cover?

Telescopic lenses typically cover a range of focal lengths, allowing for variable magnification and field of view. The specific range depends on the design of the lens and can vary from wide angle to telephoto.

What is the earths gravitational field?

All objects within the universe attract all other objects through gravity. as distance increases this attraction lessens to an insignificant amount, however the force is still there. therefore the Earth's gravitational field's range is limitless.

Is gravitational force a contact force?

no gravitational force is a non contact... a simple proof to that is that the Earth's centre is attracting you towards itself without you being in contact with it... also Sun is able to attract the planets from such a large distance....

What is the range of the function y x2 2x 4.?

The range depends on the domain. If the domain is the complex field, the range is also the whole of the complex field. If the domain is x = 0 then the range is 4.


Why does saturn stay in orbit of the sun?

Saturn stay in orbit because o the sun's gravitational effect. You may ask how, because the sun is enormous and the gravitational power is very large. Also it is in the gravitational range of the sun.


Why do asteroids comets and meteors fall suddenly?

Asteroids, comets, and meteors fall suddenly towards Earth due to gravitational forces. When they come within range of Earth's gravity, they are pulled in, causing them to fall towards the planet at high speeds. Additionally, factors like orbital dynamics and collisions in space can also contribute to their sudden approach.


Why does no-one live on the planets?

Well, apparently, none of the planets has a combination of atmosphere, range of temperature, magnetosphere shield, surface heat distribution, gravitational field, music, natural resources, women, and a few other things, that is able to support life.
