What planet has twice the gravity of earth?

Despite the fact that Uranus has a mass 14.5 times Earth's mass, its surface gravity isless thanEarth's.Jupiter and Neptune both have more "surface gravity" than Earth.


Why is Earth's gravity six times greater than the gravity on the moon?

The force of gravity is determined by the mass of two objects. Earth's is used as the standard. So on Earth your weight is the same as your mass. Other planets have a different mass than the Earth, so the attraction - or gravity as we call it - differs as well. The mass of the Moon creates a pull only 1/6 as strong as the Earth. Mass can be more or densely packed together such as a gas or solid rock. The density of the material also affects the force of gravity at the surface. The force of gravity diminishes with distance. So, floating on a gas giant that has the same mass as the Earth, you would feel less gravity.


How much gravity does mars have compared to earth?

The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.


Does Earth have more gravity than the Moon?

Yes, Earth has more gravity than the Moon. Earth's gravity is approximately 6 times stronger than the Moon's gravity.


Why does the moon orbits the earth?

Gravitational forces cause the Earth to pull on the Moon, and the Moon to pull on the Earth (Earth is about 81 times as massive). Since the Moon is travelling with sufficient velocity, it does not fall into the Earth, but rather orbits around the Earth. The mutual attractive force between the Earth and Moon, due to gravity, keeps the two bodies in a state of mutual revolution. If the force of gravity didn't exist, then the Moon would take off from the Earth in a straight line, and the Earth would likewise take off from the Sun.

Which planet has the highest surface gravity of the terrestrial planets?

Mercury has the highest surface gravity of the terrestrial planets. Its gravity is about 0.38 times that of Earth's gravity.


How does the force of gravity on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity?

The force of gravity on Jupiter is much stronger than on Earth due to Jupiter's larger mass. Jupiter's gravity is about 2.5 times that of Earth.


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.


How strong is Neptune's magnetic field?

Neptune's magnetic field is about 27 times stronger than Earth's. It is tilted at an angle of about 47 degrees from the planet's rotational axis, which is believed to be a result of its off-center magnetic field.


Will planet Pluto be attracted to the sun with the same force as the earth?

No. Let's take Earth as a good example to start with. Let's say you look at the force of gravity of Pluto if it were twice as far from the Sun as Earth is. The force of gravity would be 2x2 = 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from Sun twice that distance, and the force of gravity would be another 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from the Sun another 2 times its previous distance, and the force of gravity between it and the Sun would be yet another 4 times weaker. And so on, until you reach a point in space where Pluto is really, actually positioned.
