Pluto may be considered small in planet terms, but its still a pretty big rock, and its moon is small enough so that they can have a mutual gravitational attraction, and the moon can be in a stable orbit. Pluto can have gravity on it, anything that's bigger than something else has gravity on it, even an elephant has gravity over a mouse, its just too small of an amount to do anything

Is Pluto's gravity strong or weak tha nearth?

gravity on Pluto is about 1/12th the surface gravity on Earth


Is Pluto Gravity Strong Or Weak?

Pluto's gravity is relatively weak compared to the gravity of larger planets like Earth. The gravitational pull on Pluto's surface is about 6% that of Earth's gravity. This means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only about 6 pounds on Pluto.


Does Pluto have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth. In fact, Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth's moon.


What planet has little gravity?

our moon or mercury or Pluto


What would gravity do to a person on pluto?

No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.


There is no gravity air and what on the moon?

The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.


Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?

The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.


How does the force of gravity on pluto compare to the force of earth?

Compared to earth, the force of gravity on pluto is weak, about 1/17 th that of earth, so 100 kg mass on pluto would "weigh" 100/17 = 5.9 kg


Does Pluto have a weak gravitational pull?

Yes - in fact, anything that has mass will exert a gravitational force (including comparably small objects, like a human being). Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, which is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.


How can Pluto have moons?

Any object in space with enough gravity to keep a moon in orbit can have moons. Pluto is one of those objects.


Why does Pluto have more moons than earth if earth has more mass?

A good bit of "luck", and the fact that Pluto is so far from the Sun; the Sun's gravity interferes very little with the weak gravity of tiny Pluto, and its even smaller moons.


Would a person weigh less on Pluto or the Moon?

A person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Pluto because the Moon has less mass and weaker gravity than Pluto. The gravitational pull on Pluto is stronger due to its larger mass, causing a person to weigh more on Pluto than on the Moon.
