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.

It depends a bit on where you measure the gravity. If you mean at the surface
of the planet then Uranus also has a slightly weaker gravitational field strength
than Earth, according to some reference sources. It depends on exactly how
the gravity strength is defined. I think I've gone into too much detail for this
question, but you may read about Uranus's gravity and be puzzled because
some say its gravity is weaker than Earth's and some say it's a bit stronger.
Actually you sometimes get the same disagreement about Saturn.

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 are some small objects in the solar system?
Objects smaller than planets are:moonsasteroidsdebris (junk from man made satellites)dust,gasesparticles from the Sun
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?
are asteroids smaller or larger than planets
Are the rockey planets larger or smaller than the gas planets?
smaller
Are the inner planets smaller than the outer planets?
yes the inner planets are much smaller then the outer planets
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.
The planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
The planets are smaller than the sun.
How many planets smaller than Venus?
Mercury and Mars are the only planets smaller than Venus.
Are dwarf planets smaller than inner planets?
Yes, all of the dwarf planets are smaller than the smallest inner planet (Mercury).
Do the planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
No. Planets look smaller than the sun because they actually are smaller.
What body in space orbits a star and is smaller than a planet?
there are many objects, these are all of the bodies I know of; there are dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
