There are 3 possible answers to this question: Mercury, Mars, or Pluto. The simple definition of gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. Two factors determine gravitational pull: 1) the mass of the two objects and, 2) the distance between the two objects. Gravitational pull is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. For example, gravitational pull doubles if either of the two masses is doubled. On the other hand, gravity grows weaker if the two objects are moved farther apart. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, or if the distance is doubled between the two objects, gravity is only 1/4th as strong. So both mass and distance matter when determining gravitational pull. The big variable that the question doesn't address is how far away are you from the planet when you want to know it's "gravitational pull". Do you want to know the gravitational pull at some constant distance in space from each planet's center, or do you want to know the gravitational pull at each planet's surface. Because each planet has a different diameter, the distance from the planet's center varies from planet to planet. Since both mass and distance matter, here are the qualified answers: Pluto has, by far, the least mass of all the planets, but Pluto is now considered to be a "dwarf planet" and is no longer to be considered as a regular planet. If it were to be considered, it would have the least gravitational pull of all the planets at both it's surface and at some fixed distance in space from it's center. Mars has slightly more mass than than Mercury but also has a larger diameter. The math works out that Mars has the least gravity at it's surface. Even less than the surface gravity of Mercury because of Mars' larger diameter. Mercury has slightly less mass than Mars and a much smaller diameter. The math works out that at some constant distance in space, Mercury has the less gravitational pull than Mars because Mercury simply has less mass. Because Mercury's diameter is smaller, which puts you closer to its center, that makes its surface gravity slightly more than Mars'.

What planet sun or moon has the strongest gravitational pull?
Neither the sun nor the moon are planets. The sun has the strongest gravitational pull of any object in the solar system.
What relationship is there between your weight on a planet and the height you can jump?
Your weight on a planet is determined by its gravitational pull, which affects how much force is exerted on your body. A higher weight due to stronger gravity typically means that you will jump lower because it requires more force to overcome that gravitational pull. Conversely, on a planet with weaker gravity, you would weigh less and could jump higher since less force is needed to lift your body off the ground. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between your weight and your jump height relative to the gravitational strength of the planet.
When was Thanks To The Moon's Gravitational Pull created?
Thanks To The Moon's Gravitational Pull was created in 2003.
How would you expect earth's gravitational pull on you high in the Rocky Mountains to be different to be from a pull on a sea shore?
The earth's gravitational pull decreases as altitude increases.
Are tides higher when the moon was full?
yes because the earth and the moon push and pull with there gravitational pulls. and when the moon is full it has a stronger gravitational pull
What planet has a gravitational pull?
All of them.
What is the relationship between the mass of the planet and the relative strenghth of its gravitational pull?
The relative strength of its gravitational pull is directly proportional to the planet's mass.
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.
Does the planet Uranus have a gravitational pull?
YES
If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?
well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer . Mercury gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Venus gravitational pull is 8.8 so its 8.8kg Earth gravitational pull is 9.8 so its 9.8kg Mars gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Jupiter gravitational pull is 23.2 so its 23.2kg Saturn gravitational pull is 9.0 so its 9kg Uranus gravitational pull is 8.7 so its 8.7kg Neptune gravitational pull is 11.1 so its 11.1kg Pluto gravitational pull is 0.6 600g
What is the source of gravitational pull on the moon?
Planet Earth.
What planet has the third greatest gravitational pull?
jupiter
What hold the planet in their on orbit?
The gravitational pull of the Sun
Which planet has the greatest gravitational force?
Jupiter, because of its mass. But the actual effective gravitational force falls off greatly as you go farther from the planet, so that it only affects smaller objects when they are relatively nearby, like its moons. Otherwise, it exerts the greatest force (co-attraction) on other large planets.
True or false the more mass a planet has the more its gravitational pull to another planet?
True. The gravitational force between two planets is directly proportional to the product of their masses. So, the greater the mass of a planet, the stronger its gravitational pull towards another planet.
Why do you weigh more in one planet then in another?
You have the same mass anywhere, but you weigh more or less on a planet depending on the gravitaional pull of the planet. The more gravitational pull, the more you weigh. The gravitational pull depends on the size of the planet. The bigger the planet, the more gravitaional pull.
WHY DOES A MOON REMAIN ORBIT AROUND A PLANET?
