Back when Pluto was still listed as a planet it was considered to have the weakest gravity of all the solar system's planets. Now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status, the planet with the weakest surface gravity is Mercury. While Pluto's gravity is weaker than that of any planet in the solar system, there are still many non-plantery objects with weaker surface gravity.
It doesn't. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto have less gravitational acceleration at their surface than Earth has. That leaves only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with stronger gravity.
The force of gravity on an object with a mass of 100 kg at Pluto's surface would be approximately 6.7 N. Gravity on Pluto is only about 0.063 times that of Earth's gravity, so objects weigh much less on Pluto.
The "surface" gravity of Jupiter is about 40 times that of Pluto.
Pluto's gravity is relatively weak compared to the gravity of larger planets like Earth. The gravitational pull on Pluto's surface is about 6% that of Earth's gravity. This means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only about 6 pounds on Pluto.
0.067 times Earth's gravity, or 0.658 m/s2.
No. Pluto has weaker gravity than any of the planets, which would have meant it had the weakest gravity when it was still considered a planet. Other, non-planetary bodies such as asteroid and comets have far weaker gravity.

gravity on Pluto is about 1/12th the surface gravity on Earth

Yes. Pluto's surface gravity is about 6.7% that of Earth.
Pluto is the weakest force of the Sun's gravity because it is the farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. The strength of gravity weakens with distance, so objects located farther away experience weaker gravitational attraction. This is why Pluto's orbit is more influenced by the gravity of other celestial bodies, such as Neptune, than by the Sun itself.
There are forces of gravity between every speck of mass in the universe and every other speck of mass, no matter where they are, how far apart, or how large or small, all the time, everywhere, right now.
The surface gravity on Pluto would be 0.58 meters/second2, or about 1/17th that of earth's.
There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.
Pluto was the smallest planet in our solar system before it was reclassified (though Ceres is even smaller, and was considered a planet longer than Pluto). Because the gravity of an object is directly proportional to its mass and density, that would give Pluto the smallest surface gravity. It is now known that there are a few other large comets out there nearly as big as Pluto (Eris is even bigger). Pluto is no longer classified as a planet because it has not significantly cleared its orbit of debris. Therefore of the eight planets in our solar system, Mercury is the smallest and has the least surface gravity. Mercury is also the most dense, having a large and rich iron core.
Pluto has a weaker surface gravity than a planet because it has much less mass than a planet has.
