Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
Can a planet collapse under its own gravity?
No, a planet does not collapse because gravity isn't strong enough to provide enough pressure to crush a planet. You might make a planet heavier and heavier as to increase its gravity but at some point the pressure in the planet's core will be high enough to support nuclear fusion and the planet will have changed into a star. At that point radiative pressure also begins to fight gravity.
Which planet has enough gravity to hold onto most gases?
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has enough gravity to hold onto most gases. Its strong gravitational pull allows it to retain a thick atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, along with trace amounts of other gases. This capability is a key factor in its classification as a gas giant, distinguishing it from terrestrial planets that have thinner atmospheres.
The planet Uranus is called a?
The planet Uranus is called an ice giant planet.
Does gravity depend on the planet you are on?
Yes, gravity does depend on the planet you are on. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet and your distance from its center. Therefore, gravity will be different on each planet based on these factors.
Do large planets such as Jupiter and Saturn have gravity?
Anything with mass has gravity. Anything massive enough to be considered a planet has noticeable gravity, whether it is a giant planet like Jupiter or a small planet like Mercury.
Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?
Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?

Is Neptune's gravity strong or weak?
Neptune's gravity is strong, as it is the fourth largest planet in our solar system. Its gravitational force is about 17% stronger than Earth's.
What makes a planet have weak gravity?
Big planets has a strong gravity. In small planets it's opposite
Why cant the atmospheres of gas giant escape into space?
gravity keeps the giants planet's gasas from escaping
How strong is gravity on each planet?
pretty cool when u go up and down
Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant planet escape into space?
For the same reason that our atmosphere on Earth does not escape into space - gravity.
Why is earth the only planet with gravity?
All objects with mass have gravity, so all planets have gravity. However, the strength of gravity depends on the mass of the planet. Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold objects to its surface, which is why we feel it as weight.
Could you fly off of a planet because there is no gravity?
No. All planets have gravity. Any object massive enough to be considered a planet would have strong enough gravity that you could simply escape by jumping. It is, however, possible for an object to escape the gravity of any planet if it is launched in the right way and with enough speed.
One theory about asteroids says that Jupiter's strong what prevented the asteroids from forming a planet?
gravity
How strong is the gravity on Mars compared to earths?
it is 38% of earths gravity. Fun fact- Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system YAY
