The gravitational force on Pluto is approximately 0.62 meters per second squared (m/s²). This low gravity is due to its small mass and size compared to larger celestial bodies like Earth. To calculate the gravitational force on an object on Pluto, you can multiply its mass by this gravitational acceleration (F = m × g), where g is 0.62 m/s². For example, a 1 kg object would experience a gravitational force of about 0.62 newtons.

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the Sun and Pluto is determined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As Pluto orbits the Sun, its distance varies, affecting the gravitational force. If Pluto moves closer to the Sun, the gravitational force increases; conversely, if it moves farther away, the force decreases. However, since both the Sun and Pluto have relatively constant masses, the primary factor affecting the force is their changing distance.
The force between the Earth and a body on Earth is the gravitational force, which is determined by the mass of the Earth, the mass of the body, and the distance between them. This force causes objects to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.
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.
An object that weighs 100 pounds on Pluto would weigh 262 pounds on Earth, assuming the same mass of the object. This is because weight is proportional to the gravitational force acting on an object, and the gravitational force is stronger on Earth than on Pluto.
It's a force, so newtons, N.
Newtons
On Earth, the force of gravity exerts approximately 9.81 newtons on one kilogram of mass. This gravitational force is a result of the mass of the object and the gravitational acceleration.
No. Pluto has less mass and it is further away, so the force is a lot less. Pluto's mass is only about 0.0022 times the Earth's mass and Pluto is (on average) about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth. So, according to Newton's law of gravity, the gravitational force attracting Pluto compared with Earth is only about 0.0022/392. That's only about 1.4 x 10-6 times the force felt by the Earth. The force on the Earth is 3.542 x 1022 Newtons, ±3.4% due to the elliptical orbit. The force on Pluto is 5.001 x 1016 Newtons, ±50%.

At the surface, the gravity is about 9.8 Newtons/kg.

Newtons are the force one object exerts on another. The weight you see on a bathroom scale is how much the scale pushes back, which equals the Newtonian force. However, mass and Newtons are different but related. Newtons is the gravitational pull multiplied by the mass. The basic equation is: (mass in grams)(9.8)=Force in Newtons 9.8 is the gravitational pull on every object on Earth.
Yes ... as a guess about the same as the moon.
