Is there more or less gravity on Neptune then on earth?

Neptune has slightly more gravity than Earth. It is believed that the gravity is 17% greater than Earth's.


Why does Saturn have less gravity than Earth?

Neptune has much more mass than Earth with a mass of 17 times the mass of the Earth. Also, the diameter of Neptune is 3.8 times the diameter of Earth. This brings the gravity on Neptune up to 114% of the gravity of Earth.


Why would you way more on Neptune than earth?

Because they have more mass (m) and a greater diameter (r). g = m/r2You would weigh more on:JupiterNeptunebut less onMercuryVenusMarsSaturnUranus


What is the gravity like on neptune?

To answer this we must start by taking a look at Neptune's mass. Neptune's mass is about 1.02 x 1026 kg. It would take over 17 Earths to fill up Neptune, but the gravity on Neptune is only 1.19 times of the gravity on Earth. This is because it is such a large planet (and the gravitational force a planet exerts upon an object at the planet's surface is proportional to its mass and to the inverse of its radius squared). A 100-pound person would weigh 112.5 pounds on Neptune. If the object is massive it will gain gravity but if it is large it will lose gravity at a greater rate.


Is neptunes orbit more circular than earths orbit?

No, Neptune's orbit is actually more eccentric (less circular) than Earth's orbit. Neptune's orbit is more elongated, with a greater difference between its closest and farthest points from the Sun compared to Earth's orbit.

Is gravity on Saturn stronger than earths gravity?

Yes it does, because the Earth is smaller than Saturn it will have less gravity than Saturn and because Saturn is bigger it will have more gravity

Does neptune have more gravity than the earth?

yes


Does gravity decrease or increase if earths mass doubled?

More mass --> more gravity.


Why would you weigh more on neptune than on Saturn?

The force of gravity on Neptune is greater than on Saturn.


Why does the acceleration of gravity vary from one point to another on the earths surface?

Different air pressure, so there is more/less air resistance.

Moon gravity vs earths gravity?

Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass


When does gravity change?

Gravity is caused by mass. Everything causes gravity but the bigger it is and more mass it has the more pull is felt by its gravity. So you are pulling the earth towards you and the earth is pulling you. The earth is much bigger and has more mass, so it pulls much more. Gravity gets weaker the further away you get from its source. The earths crust does not have the same mass all over, so some areas have slightly less gravity than others. The differences between areas are very very small. The moon has only a quarter the mass of the earth, so gravity on the moon is a quarter of earths gravity.
