Is earth the only planet with gravity?

yes and no, planet earth is the only earth with gravity because there is only one earth, however planet earth is not the only planet with gravity or even the only object with gravity. every single planet and every star and even every comet or asteroid has gravity but its not just objects in space; everything is made of matter and all matter attracts other matter which is what causes gravity so the chair your sitting on, the computer in front of you, and even you have a small amount of gravity.


How big is the planet Pluto to the planet Earth?

Pluto is tiny. Earth is 12,756 km in diameter, Pluto is only about 2,390 km. That is only about 70% the size of the Moon (which is itself 1/4 the size of Earth.) In terms of Mass, Pluto only has about 1/460 of Earth's. Surface gravity of Pluto is only about 5% of Earth's.


What planet has the most gravity beside earth?

Jupiter and Neptune are the only planets in our Solar System that have more gravity than the Earth. Jupiter's gravity is about 236% that of the Earth, and Neptune's gravity is about 112% that of the Earth. Edit: Because of uncertainties and different definitions you can get data that says Saturn and/or Uranus also have slightly stronger gravity than Earth's.


Why is planet earth the have the weakest 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.


What would happen if only gravity were operating earth?

Well, everything would be stable gravitationally, but if there were no other forces, like electromagnetism for instance, then our atoms might not hold together, or they would get mixed into the atoms where we sit or walk, etc. We need other forces.

Is Earth the only planet that has a gravitational force?

NO. They all have gravity.


What is the gravity percentage on Mars?

Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.


Is Mars' gravity stronger or weaker than earth's?

Mars has a weaker gravity than earth because it is a smaller planet and is smaller than


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.


Why earth is the only planet where life exist?

beause earth is the only planet which has oxygen and other needed sudstances .


Is earth real?

we r not in space well we are but we have gravity and earth is real


Does gravity come from the ocean?

Not only from the ocean. EVERY object in the Universe attracts EVERY OTHER OBJECT, through a force called gravity. So, the ocean attracts us, but so does every other part of planet Earth.


What is the only planet that can't be seen from earth?

The only planet that can't be seen from earth is earth itself. Other than earth itself other planet can be seen, however sometimes it might requires use of high technology!


What planet has the force of gravity here that has less than half of the pull exerted by gravity on earth?

I'm not sure if it's half or not, probably less, but the only possibility would be Mercury. True. Mercury is the only one. Gravity on Mercury's surface is 37% of what it is on Earth. Except for Mars, where it's 38% of its value on Earth. Mercury and Mars are the only ones. Except for Pluto, where it's 4% of its value on Earth.


What would happen if only gravity were on the earth?

If only gravity were present on Earth, everything not fixed to the ground would float freely in space, including the atmosphere, water, and objects on the surface of the planet. The lack of other forces like electromagnetism would disrupt the structure and stability of matter on Earth.


How does gravity affect weight on a planet?

The importantidea here is a planet's "surface gravity". That's the measure of the planet's gravitational "pull"at its surface. The larger this number, the heavier the weight ofan object on the surface of the planet. For example, the "surface gravity" on Mars is only 38% of the Earth's. So, if you could be on the surface of Mars, your weight would be 38% of your weight on Earth.
