YES! The bigger or more dense the planet is, the higher the force of gravity.

Does gravity depend on the size of the planet?

Yes but only just.Gravity is a relationship between the mass of a planet and the distance from the centre.In simplistic terms G=M/R Where G = gravity, M = mass and R = radius. It's a bit more complicated than that - but is a good approximation.For example Saturn is about 9 times larger than the Earth but the gravity is only just above that of the Earth.However, if you drilled down into the Earth, the closer you got to the centre the greater the gravity would be.


Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?

No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.


How does a planet's gravity vary with its mass?

The gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. For the gravity on the surface of the planet, the distance is just the planet's radius. Thus, if a planet has three times the mass, it has three times the gravity. If you are three times as far away, the gravity decreases by a factor of nine.


What is mass of 2.0kg of Au on planet 3x gravity on earth?

Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object; it does not depend on gravity. The mass of 2.0 kg of gold is 2.0 kg no matter where the gold is, so on a planet with three time the gravity, the mass would still be 2.0 kg.


How does a planet gets its force of gravity?

A planet gets its force of gravity from its mass and the distance from its center. The more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that attracts all objects with mass towards each other.

Does the mass of the planet depend on how much gravity it has?

No. It is the other way around; gravity depends on mass.


Which has a more powerful gravity a small planet or a large planet?

It would depend on the mass of the planets. The surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. If two planets have the same mass but different sizes, the smaller planet will have stronger gravity because the surface is closer to the center of mass. Conversely, if two planets are of the same size, the one with more mass will have stronger gravity. Since larger planets usually have more mass than smaller ones they usually have stronger gravity, though not always.

Can planet grow without gravity?

Gravity comes with mass so since a planet has mass there is some gravity. the bigger the planet the more mass it has. smaller planets have less gravity. so either way there is always some gravity on a planet.


Where does the gravity on Planet Mars pull you too Is it to the core downwards or just that there is no gravity on the planet Mars If not then why?

The gravity on Mars or any other planet pulls you toward the planet's center.


How does water get to taps?

That would depend on what part of the planet your on. Some places depend on well water and need pumping stations others that have better designs like NYC use a gravity system


Is Mercury gravity?

No Mercury, either the metal or the planet is not equal to gravity. Gravity is a force of nature, not a planet or a substance.


How does the gravity of the planet vary with its mass?

The larger the planet mass, the bigger force of gravity it has.


Which planet has gravity?

All planets have gravity.


Why there is force of gravity on your planet?

Where there is mass there is gravity.


What classified planet has the least gravity?

Mercury, because it's the smallest if you don't consider Pluto to be a planet.


What happens to the gravity on large and small planet?

Gravity depends largely on mass, the bigger the planet the greater the gravity should be
