Why would you weigh the least on mars?
Mars is a smaller planet than Earth. Your weight is the product of two masses yours and the planets Your mass stays the same wherever you are, if you stand on a smaller planet, you weigh less.
Do planets near the sun spin faster or slower than planets away from the sun?
The gas giants, the four planets farthest from the Sun, do spin faster than the inner planets. However, rotational speed has almost nothing to do with the distance a planet is from the sun. Having said that, both the Sun and the Moon are responsible for the tides of the oceans which are still slowing the Earth down ever so slightly. The extremely slow rotation of Venus would have had other causes. The rotational speeds of planets are the product of 4½ billion years of events. The angular momentum of the protostellar disc would have been transferred to growing planets. In the case of the gas giants, the tidal effects at their great distance from the Sun are extremely small compared to their masses. So they are still spinning vigorously. Even Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is not rapidly losing its spin.
Is there gravity on other planets in the solar system?
Yes there is gravity on other planets. In fact, there is gravity on object that has mass. That gravity is just really small for objects with little mass. We only see gravity like we experience on Earth when the mass becomes really large. If you require proof that those other planets have a gravitational pull you need only remember that NASA has sent multiple space probes to other planet and put them into orbit around that planet. An impossible feat for an object what has no gravity.
Why is the force of gravity on Pluto from the Sun the weakest?
-- Among the bodies that used to be the 9 planets, Pluto is the one with the smallest mass. -- Plus it's the one farthest from the sun. These two parameters ... product of the masses involved and distance between them ... are exactly the two factors that determine the forces of gravity between two objects.
What are carbon dioxide planets?
Both Venus and Mars have carbon-dioxide atmospheres. The Earth also started with a carbon-dioxide atmosphere but the development of anerobic bacteria produced oxygen as a waste-product which eventually altered the atmosphere and killed off the bacteria but allowed other types of organism using oxygen to develop, and that eventually led to animal life.
What part of a soil profile that is made up of partly weathered rock is the?
Regolith is mostly a product of weathering. Bedrock may be exposed to water or other compounds that percolate through the soil, or it may occur as an outcrop.
