The planet with the weakest gravity in our solar system is Mercury. Its surface gravity is about 38% that of Earth's, primarily due to its small size and mass. As a result, objects on Mercury weigh significantly less than they do on Earth. This low gravitational pull influences factors such as the planet's atmosphere and the ability to retain surface materials.

Why is Pluto the weakest force of the suns gravity?

Pluto is the weakest force of the Sun's gravity because it is the farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. The strength of gravity weakens with distance, so objects located farther away experience weaker gravitational attraction. This is why Pluto's orbit is more influenced by the gravity of other celestial bodies, such as Neptune, than by the Sun itself.

It is 3.055.<-not a decimal just a period


What are the three planets and moon from strongest gravity to weakest?

It depends on the mass of the moon and the relation of it's proximity to the planet it is orbiting. Since humans have only traveled to the Earth's moon, we can only truly get an understanding by being there. However, we do have an idea of how strong or weak gravity is on each moon. More than likely, the moon with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars' two moons, which aren't really moons, rather old asteroids orbiting the red planet. Phobos and Deimos. The two moons with the strongest gravity are most likely Titan (The only known moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere) and Triton (One of Neptune's moons). Now for the planets: The planet with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars. The atmosphere is extremely thin and the planet is bitterly cold. Now, the planets that receive the strongest gravity award are the gas giants. All gas giants (Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus; Neptune) would literally crush you into nothing the gravity is so strong. These planets are also the deadliest and most uninhabitable. But, to sum everything up, there is no clear cut 'one to three' lineup. The solar system is still very mysterious and holds secrets scientists still have to uncover. Hope this helps and answers your question.


Which planet has the least mass?

Mercury is the least massive of all the planets. The least massive planet is Mercury (0.055 Earths). However, the planet with the weakest gravity is Mars. I am of course not treating Pluto as a Planet (as it is no longer categorized as a planet), if I were to count Pluto then it would be the least massive ( 0.0021 Earths).


What classified planet has the least gravity?

Mercury, because it's the smallest if you don't consider Pluto to be a planet.

What planet would you be the lightest on?

The surface gravity on Mars is the weakest, it is 37.6% of Earths.


Why is Pluto considered to have the weakest surface gravity?

Back when Pluto was still listed as a planet it was considered to have the weakest gravity of all the solar system's planets. Now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status, the planet with the weakest surface gravity is Mercury. While Pluto's gravity is weaker than that of any planet in the solar system, there are still many non-plantery objects with weaker surface gravity.


Is the pull of gravity from other planets the same as Earth?

No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.


What planet has the smallest gravitional force?

Believe it or not Mars has the weakest gravity of the planets.Mars = 0.376gMercury = 0.38gEven though Mercury is the smallest planet, it is very dense.


Which is the weakest force?

The weakest of the fundamental forces is gravity.


Does Pluto have the least amount of gravity in the solar system?

No. Pluto has weaker gravity than any of the planets, which would have meant it had the weakest gravity when it was still considered a planet. Other, non-planetary bodies such as asteroid and comets have far weaker gravity.


Why is planet earth the have the weakest gravity?

It doesn't. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto have less gravitational acceleration at their surface than Earth has. That leaves only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with stronger gravity.

What is weakest gravity the strong force the weak force or the electromagnetic force?

Gravity is the weakest force. In order from strongest to weakest is the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and gravity. However, this is relative to distance - one could consider that gravity is the strongest force because its effect can be felt over enormous distances, even astronomical distances.
