The mutual force of gravitational attraction between any two masses is proportional; to

the square of the distance between their centers.

When an object is moved twice as far from the planet's center, the force between them

decreases to 1/22 = 1/4 of its original magnitude.

How does weight change on earth and other planets?

Weight on Earth is determined by the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. The weight of an object would be different on other planets because each planet has a different gravitational pull. Weight can change depending on the strength of the gravitational force, which varies based on the mass and size of the planet.


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

The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.


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

The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.


What effects does gravity have on planets?

The same effect as it has on any other object. The gravitational field produces a force; this force, acting on a planet, will accelerate it - that is, it will change its velocity.


Why can a soda weigh different on different planets?

soda weighs differently on different planets because the planets gravitational pull makes the mass of the soda and the weight change because of pressure and different gravitational pull they could also make the soda explode because o fpressure and carbonation


What is the difference between orbits and rotation?

well when something is orbiting a planet that means an object is basically circling the planet due to its gravitational pull. Rotation is the planets rotation not the object surrounding circling it.


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.


How and why weight or gravity changes on planet earth?

the gravitational power of the planets are different.weight of any substance depend on both gravitational and magnitude(mass).since mass dose not change any planet but gravitational force change so weight is different at different planet. W=m multiply g


Are there any known planets that are perfectly spherical?

No. A planet can't be perfectly spherical because of tidal forces. Tidal forces happen when an object is large enough, that the gravitational pull on one side of the object is considerably larger than the gravitational pull on the other side of the object. To be classified as a planet, an object will be large enough that it will experience enough tidal force to alter the shape of the planet. Because of these forces, planets become shaped like distorted ellipsoids.


What would happen to an object dropped into a hole that went through a planet's center and out the other side?

The gravitational pull of the planet would prohibit the object from leaving the center of the planet, and since most planets have magma in their center, the object, depending on what it was made of would probably burn up.


Does the planet revolve around the sun?

because the sun is the biggest object in the solar system and that means the gravitational pull is greater meaning that the planets orbit it.


Which method has not yet detected planets around other stars?

Gravitational microlensing has not yet been used to detect planets around other stars. This method involves the gravitational deflection of light from a background star due to the presence of a foreground object, such as a planet, but no planets have been directly detected using this technique.
