No. Gravity is dependent on two factors: the mass of the object in question and the distance from its center of mass. So gravity at Earth's surface is dependent on its mass and radius, and Earth is the dominant gravitational body for some distance, but elsewhere, other objects dominate with their own gravity.

Why would the earth lose it's gravity if it's core cooled?

The Earth's gravity is not solely dependent on the temperature of its core. Gravity is determined by the mass of the Earth and its size. Even if the core were to cool, the Earth would not lose its gravity as long as its mass and size remain constant.


What physical feature on the Earth is dependent on the moon?

No moon, no tides. Ocean water is a physical feature on earth that is dependent on the moon because the moon's gravity pull causes ebb and flood.


Why is there more gravity on Pluto than on Earth?

There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.


Would Earth have gravity without the sun?

Yes, Earth would still have gravity without the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, so Earth's gravity is due to its own mass, not just the presence of the sun. The sun's gravity does impact Earth's orbit and tides, but Earth would still have its own gravitational field even without the sun.


How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.


Does the moon have a gravitational force stronger than earth?

No. The Moon's mass is only about 1/81 of the Earth, and gravity is dependent on mass and distance. Lunar surface gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth beause the Moon's surface is closer to the center of mass.


Does the force of gravity change at various times of the day at the same place?

No. Force of gravity is not time dependent. It is proportional to the product of masses of the earth and the matter in question and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the matter.


What is 10kg weight in newtons?

That depends on the gravity. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 Newton.


How your weight change if you go higher above the earth?

Your weight is dependent on the force of gravity acting on you. The force of gravity is indirectly proporsionate to the square of the distance between you and the center of earth. Your weight will therefore decrease as you go higher above the earth. Your mass however will stay constant.


What would happen to your sense of gravity on earth if the sun were to suddenly disappear?

The same thing that happens every night when the sun disappears...nothing! Gravity on Earth is not dependent on the Sun. But life on Earth is, gravity would be the least of Earth's problems if the Sun dissapeared


What happen to the acceleration due to gravity if earth stop revolving?

GRAVITYThe acceleration due to gravity is a force related to Earth's mass and is not dependent on its rotation - gravity would not change if the Earth ceased to rotate. WEIGHT However, if the Earth ceased to rotate, someone standing on the equator would weigh more - this increase in weight effect would decrease as you moved the person to the poles to do the comparison.


How does the moon crontrol gravity on earth?

No. The earth has its own gravity. The lunar gravity causes tides on earth, but does not control earth's gravity.
