The planet Mercury has an acceleration due to gravity of approximately 40% what is felt on Earth. In SI units the gravity of Mercury is 3.7-meter per second per second (m/s^2) as compared to Earth's 9.8.

What is it like on the moon?

The moon is a barren rocky place with low gravity and lots of dust. It does not have an atmosphere due to low gravity. We do not believe there is life on the moon because vital elements found in all life on earth are missing. Temperature when dark is amazingly cold and when light, it raises very high. The moon does not have a magnetic field as such to protect against radiation from the sun. It simply absorbs and reflect a little bit of what ever the sun throws at it. If being able to go there, you would experience ease of movement and be able to jump very high and long due to low gravity.


What is the scientific name for surface tension?

The scientific name for surface tension is interfacial tension. It refers to the property of a liquid that causes its surface to act like a thin, elastic sheet.


What is the difference in solid surface and granite?

Solid surface is plastic resins and ATH (a hydrate of aluminum powder). Quartz is solid surface and quartz chips. Granite is anything they dig out of the ground and want to sell you. Solid surface can be repaired, doesn't stain, the sinks are seamless,and the seams are usually invisible. And it has a warranty.


What is the scientific name for the surface of a liquid?

Well, LIQUID! The three states of matter (excluding plasma) are: 1. solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas


The type of tissue that makes up the surface of the skin?

The type of tissue that makes up the surface of the skin is called stratified squamous epithelium. This tissue is composed of multiple layers of flat cells that provide protection against external stressors and help to prevent dehydration or infection. It is a key component of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.

Is there a planet with more gravity than earth?

This question is probably about the strength of the "surface gravity" of the planets. "Jupiter" is the obvious answer. It has a surface gravity about 2.5 times Earth's. Neptune also has a higher surface gravity than Earth. (Sometimes Saturn is given as another example, but it depends on the exact definition of "surface gravity".)
