Gravitational attraction is the force of gravity between two objects and it depends on the mass of both of them and the distance apart. So two objects must be specified, e.g. Mercury and the Sun, or Mercury and Alpha Centauri, etc.

However, we can compare the forces for any one particular object that is attracted at any particular place:

The gravitational force on the surface of Mercury is about 38% compared with Earth's.

Would your weight be the same on mercury?

no........ the weight is determined by the gravitational pull on any object gravitational pull of different planet is different. therefore, the weight changes


How do you know that Mercury is the planet that you could jump the highest on?

I think its because of its weak gravitational pull.


Would you weigh more on Saturn or Mercury?

You would weigh more on Saturn compared to Mercury because Saturn is a much larger planet with a stronger gravitational pull. Mercury is a smaller planet with a weaker gravitational pull, so you would weigh less on Mercury.


Why does mercury have almost no atmosphere?

Because the gravitational pull of the planet isn't strong enough to hold any gasses.


If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?

well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer . Mercury gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Venus gravitational pull is 8.8 so its 8.8kg Earth gravitational pull is 9.8 so its 9.8kg Mars gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Jupiter gravitational pull is 23.2 so its 23.2kg Saturn gravitational pull is 9.0 so its 9kg Uranus gravitational pull is 8.7 so its 8.7kg Neptune gravitational pull is 11.1 so its 11.1kg Pluto gravitational pull is 0.6 600g


Which planet has the GREATEST attraction to the sun?

Mercury has the greatest attraction to the Sun due to its proximity and mass. Being the closest planet to the Sun, the gravitational force between Mercury and the Sun is stronger than any other planet in our solar system.


What planet in the solar system is the sun gravity the strongest?

The planet closest to the sun, Mercury, experiences the strongest gravitational pull from the sun due to its proximity.
