In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to

be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work

the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the

strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.

Which planet has the most greatest gravity?

Jupiter has the strongest gravity. The bigger the planet, the stronger the gravity. The moon is kind of small, so it's gravity is weaker.


What captures most of the planets moons?

the gravitational pull of the gravity of the planet so in other words bigger planets more gravity, smaller planet less gravity. usually bigger planets have more moons


What is the strongest planet in the solar system?

Earth is the strongest planet in the solar system


What are the three planets and moon from strongest gravity to weakest?

It depends on the mass of the moon and the relation of it's proximity to the planet it is orbiting. Since humans have only traveled to the Earth's moon, we can only truly get an understanding by being there. However, we do have an idea of how strong or weak gravity is on each moon. More than likely, the moon with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars' two moons, which aren't really moons, rather old asteroids orbiting the red planet. Phobos and Deimos. The two moons with the strongest gravity are most likely Titan (The only known moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere) and Triton (One of Neptune's moons). Now for the planets: The planet with the weakest gravity is most likely Mars. The atmosphere is extremely thin and the planet is bitterly cold. Now, the planets that receive the strongest gravity award are the gas giants. All gas giants (Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus; Neptune) would literally crush you into nothing the gravity is so strong. These planets are also the deadliest and most uninhabitable. But, to sum everything up, there is no clear cut 'one to three' lineup. The solar system is still very mysterious and holds secrets scientists still have to uncover. Hope this helps and answers your question.


Why are there no moons around moons?

Most moons orbit close enough to their planets that the planet's gravity would render any orbit around a moon unstable in the long term.


Earth has one moon but which planet has the most moons?

The planet with the most moons is JUPITER as it has 62 moons and then SATURN with 33 moons.


Which planet has the greatest moons?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you asking which planet has the most moons, it's Jupiter. Jupiter has the greatest gravity, therefore more things are pulled into orbit around it than any other planet.
