Gravity is a property of mass. Pretty much anything with less mass than the earth will have a smaller gravitational pull.

The first thing I thought of? My finger. (Don't pull it).

The moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all smaller than earth and have lighter surface gravities. So does Ceres or any other asteroid, the moons of Mars or any other moon in our solar system, Pluto, Sedna, Varuna, Eris, and so on.

What are small rocky objects that revolve around the Sun called?

Objects smaller than planets and dwarf planets, which are not moons, are called asteroids.The smallest are called meteoroids, especially when they encounter a larger body, and micrometeoroids if they are as small as grains of sand or dust, or even smaller.(because of their low mass, micrometeors can survive atmospheric deceleration to reach the surface)


What are the similarities between asteroids and comets?

They may both vary in sizes but are smaller than a planet. There are a lot of them. They hit large objects like planets, moons or stars often.


What is larger than the ocean?

That Is a difficult question because what are you asking about? Most planets in our solar system are larger than all oceans combined as well as most stars. I think all the continents combined is smaller that the oceans combined.


What are the contents of our solar system?

From a mass standpoint, the best answer is "The Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and miscellaneous debris." More specifically: other than the Sun, which is nearly all the mass of the solar system, there are 8 planets, satellites of those planets (a couple of hundred of these), asteroids, Kuiper belt objects (and what are sometimes called "trans-Neptunian objects" for lack of a better name), the Oort cloud, and weirder things like comets and the rings of the outer planets.


Is hydrogen more abundant on terrestrial planets than on Jovian planets?

No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.

What are the tiny planets?

Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".


Are gas planets smaller than dwarf planets?

No. All of the objects in out solar system labeled as dwarf planets are smaller than the smallest of the planets. The gas planets are the largest planets.


What is smaller moons comets asteroids or planets?

Although comets appear very large when they are near the Sun because of the large dust cloud that follows behind them, they are actually the smallest of the objects listed. Comets typically have a diameter of less than 6 miles, which is much smaller than the typical diameter of the other objects listed above.


Why were objects that formed farther out in space smaller than the planets?

Objects that formed farther out than space are smaller than the planets because there is less matter available to form them further out from the sun. Less matter results in smaller objects, including asteroids and dwarf planets.


What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?

Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.

What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?

The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.


Why do planets revolve around the sun and not the other way around?

The sun is much bigger than planets and has more mass, so it also has more gravitational pull. Objects in space with a greater gravitational pull can keep smaller objects in orbit.


How do you compare dwarf planets from regular planets?

dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets


What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
