It's about 0.028g, or 2.8% of earths surface gravitational pull of 1g

Does Ceres have gravity?

Oh, dude, of course Ceres has gravity! It's a dwarf planet in our solar system, not some floating balloon at a birthday party. It's got enough gravity to hold itself together and even has a little bit of an atmosphere. So yeah, Ceres is definitely bringing the gravity to the party.


What can you assume about the gravitational pull of the brown dwarf system?

The gravitational pull of a brown dwarf system would be weaker than that of a star system but stronger than that of a planet. It is sufficient to keep the system objects in orbit around the brown dwarf.


Are dwarf planets any shape except for round?

Dwarf planets can have various shapes, but they tend to be round due to their self-gravitation pulling them into a roughly spherical shape. Some dwarf planets, like Haumea, are elongated due to their rapid rotation, while others may appear irregular in shape.


Is Pluto a moon or a planet?

no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.


What planet is considered the dwarf planet?

Dwarf planets are objects in our solar system that are big enough to pull themselves into a rounded shape yet orbit the Sun in a "messy" neighbourhood (like the asteroid belt, or the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.) So far, the International Astronomical Union lists five dwarf planets: Ceres in the asteroid belt, and Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris in the Kuiper Belt. However, it is highly likely that a LOT more objects out there in the Kuiper Belt are round and therefore dwarf planets - we just haven't been able to observe them closely enough to prove it. It's likely that by the time we have better pictures of everything we've discovered so far we'll have found dozens, perhaps even hundreds of dwarf planets out there. Some examples of things that are almost certainly dwarf planets but that the IAU doesn't list yet as their shape isn't proven are Ixion, Orcus, Varuna, Quaoar and Sedna. So bear in mind that any list of dwarf planets is bound to grow quickly and will be out of date soon!If you believe dwarf planets are planets, you can remember the five dwarf planets in order from the sun with the mnemonic: "Can Planets Have Massive Eccentricity?"If you don't believe dwarf planets are planets and that only the eight big ones count, you can use this one: "Counting Planets Here Means Eight!"And if you want to remember the five dwarf planets alongside the eight other planets, use "My Very Easy Method Can't Just Speed Up Naming Planets, However Many Exist!"

Why Pluto is called a dwarf planet when the dwarf planet criteria is the same for earth?

Earth does not meet the dwarf planet criteria. According to the International Astronomical Union, a dwarf planet is an object in orbit around the Sun that is massive enough to have its own gravity pull itself into a round, or nearly round, shape but, unlike a planet, it has not cleared its orbital region of other objects. At present there are 5 recognized dwarf planets in the solar system: Ceres, Pluto, Eris (2003 UB 313), Haumea, and Makemake.


If the planet has less gravitation pull does that effect the speed it orbits around the Sun?

No. A planet's gravitational pull is determined by the planet's mass. A planet's orbital speed is determined by the the mass of the Sun and the planet's distance from the Sun.


Three dwarf planets?

The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.

Which planet gravitation pull equals that of the earth?

Of the eight planets in orbit about our sun, Venus has gravity almost as strong as ours.

What planet has the force of gravity that has half of the pull exerted by gravity on earth?

answer is mars but all planets have a gravitation effect on the earth even gas planets

What is a dwarf planet and explain?

dwarf planets are called dwarf as firstly they are smaller in size compared to the outer planets secondly, they don't have a gravitational pull like other planets to keep them bound in the solar system and also to put together their masses ,thirdly they don't show any of the criteria that international astonomical unit or IAU has made to consider a body as a planets . hope this helps.... :) :)


How does a planet moves?

A planet moves in space due to its initial velocity and the gravitational pull from the star it orbits. This motion is guided by Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation. The combination of the planet's speed and the gravitational force keeps it in orbit around its star.
