Gravity behaves exactly the same on Mercury as it does on Earth. The forces
between Mercury and any other mass are proportional to the product of Mercury's
mass and the other mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between Mercury's center and the other object's center.
Mercury's size is about 38% as big as the Earth's size, which would place the
center of an object on its surface closer to the planet's center, and cause a
greater gravitational force. But its mass is only 5.5% of Earth's mass. So the
force of gravity between Mercury and an object on its surface winds up being
only about 37% of the gravitational force on the same object when it's on
Earth's surface.
That means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh
37 pounds on Mercury.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
What is the gravity mercury?
The gravity on Mercury is 38% of Earth's gravity. So, if you were 150mlbs on Earth, you would be 57 lbs on Mercury.
Does mercury have stronger or weaker weaker gravity?
Mercury has weaker gravity compared to Earth. Its surface gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
Gravety on Mucery?
The gravity on Mercury is about 38% of Earth's gravity. This means that objects on Mercury weigh less than they would on Earth. The weaker gravity is due to Mercury's smaller mass and size compared to Earth.
Would you weigh more or less on mercury than on earth?
You would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth due to its lower gravity. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
Is there more or less gravity on Mercury than Earth?
There is much less gravity on Mercury.
Does the earth have more gravity than mercury?
Yes, the bigger the planet the more gravity.
Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
Does mercury have more or less gravity than the earth?
yes no
Does Mercury have stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?
There less gravity on Mercury than on Earth.
What is the gravity mercury?
The gravity on Mercury is 38% of Earth's gravity. So, if you were 150mlbs on Earth, you would be 57 lbs on Mercury.
Does mercury have stronger or weaker weaker gravity?
Mercury has weaker gravity compared to Earth. Its surface gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth?
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth because they both have less mass than does the Earth.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
Does Jupiter have more or less gravity than Earth?
there is more gravity on Jupiter than on Earth.
Gravety on Mucery?
The gravity on Mercury is about 38% of Earth's gravity. This means that objects on Mercury weigh less than they would on Earth. The weaker gravity is due to Mercury's smaller mass and size compared to Earth.
