How much bigger is mercurys mass than earth?

Mercury has a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and Earth has a mass of 5.97x1024kg. Thus, Mercury has a smaller mass than earth (or, in other words, Earth has a mass that's about 18x greater than that of Mercury).


Why is the force of grabity greater on earth than on Pluto?

The force of gravity is greater on Earth than on Pluto primarily due to Earth’s larger mass and size. Gravity is directly proportional to mass; since Earth has a significantly greater mass than Pluto, it exerts a stronger gravitational pull. Additionally, Earth's larger radius means that objects are closer to its center, enhancing the gravitational force experienced at its surface compared to that on Pluto. As a result, objects weigh substantially more on Earth than on Pluto.


Why is it hotter on Mercury than Pluto?

It is hotter on Mercury than it is on Pluto because Mercury is much closer to the Sun. Pluto is no longer considered a planet.


Mars and Pluto have just about the same mass which planet has greater gravity and why?

Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.


Can you fit Pluto into Mercury?
