Asteroids come in different sizes, from about 10 meters (by definition), to near the size of a planet (as in Pluto or Eris). Correspondingly, the surface gravity will be less or more, depending on the size. The surface gravity of an object 10 meters in diameter will be insignificant - you would probably fly off into space if you push yourself off with a slight movement of your finger.
What else can I help you with?
Is there gravity on the asteroid belt?
Yes, there is gravity in the asteroid belt, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity due to the belt's low mass and spread-out distribution of asteroids. This weaker gravity allows the asteroids to remain in their orbits without being pulled together into a single body.
Scientist theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet because of what?
Scientists theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter disrupting planet formation. Jupiter's strong gravity prevented the material in the asteroid belt from accreting into a planet.
Is there really evidence that there was a planet on the asteroid belt?
There certainly is enough material in the asteroid belt to form another planet, however the immense gravity of Jupiter prevented a planet from forming.
What causes most of the asteroids to remain orbiting in the asterdoid belt?
Gravity and inertia. The rocks in the asteroid belt are in free fall, and orbit the Sun under the influence of gravity. Sometimes they collide, and the fragments are knocked into different orbits, and sometimes those new orbits cause the objects to leave the asteroid belt. Some astronomers believe that the asteroid that hit the Earth 65 million years ago came from the asteroid belt after a collision like this.
What is the force of gravity at that surface of asteroids belt?
The asteroid belt does not have a surface as it is not an objects. It is a loose scattering of objects.
What gases are on an asteroid?
None. An asteroid does not have strong enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere.
How much gravity does the asteroid belt have compared to earth?
The gravity in the asteroid belt is much weaker than on Earth due to its scattered and small mass. Objects in the asteroid belt experience very low gravity, with most asteroids having too little mass to exert a significant gravitational force on one another.
What does a asteroid have a irregular of?
If the asteroid is large, its own gravity will pull it together, into a more or less spherical shape. With smaller asteroids, the gravity is not large enough, and the shape will be irregular.
What might caught the asteroid belt to move closer to the sun?
Gravity
What is the acceleration due to gravity on an asteroid?
Just like any other astronomical body that you might visit, the acceleration due to gravity on the asteroid's surface is going to depend on its mass, and on the distance between your center of mass and the asteroid's center of mass. (I didn't want to say the asteroid's "radius", because many of them are notoriously unspherical and weird-shaped, like a big old Russet Burbank.)
How is an asteroid released from the asteroid belt?
Usually by another asteroid moving through the belt and hitting one, creating a force to move an asteroid from its orbit. Also, if a large enough asteroid passes by, it is possible that the gravity that it generates could pull a few off.
Is there gravity on the asteroid belt?
Yes, there is gravity in the asteroid belt, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity due to the belt's low mass and spread-out distribution of asteroids. This weaker gravity allows the asteroids to remain in their orbits without being pulled together into a single body.
Why is it not practical for a spacecraft to land on on asteroid?
It's a question of sufficient gravity. A man might walk right off the asteroid if he tried to walk at all.
Scientist theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet because of what?
Scientists theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter disrupting planet formation. Jupiter's strong gravity prevented the material in the asteroid belt from accreting into a planet.
How do you put the SOS beacon on the comet in dead space the game?
You jump on the asteroid, use the action button and get off the asteroid right away or you'll get crushed. afterwards destroy the four gravity wheels holding the asteroid you should destroy the wheels by shooting past the shell and hitting the glowing inside notice that you will have to jump on the asteroid and run around it into space, or you won't be able to get the last to gravity wheels
Does the asteroid belt have an astmosphere?
No. The asteroid belt is not an object but a region with more asteroids than the rest of the solar system. Asteroids themselves have too little gravity to have atmospheres.
Why isn't there a terrestrial planet form at the asteroid belt?
Jupiter's gravity kept planetesimals from accreting
