Force of gravity least at which place?

The strength of gravity on the surface of a planet is related to the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravity. So the smallest planet, Mercury, is the planet with the lowest gravity, 0.38 of one g or 38% of Earths gravity. There are then the dwarf Planets which are smaller and have lower gravity. Ceres is one, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, its gravity is only 0.028g, or 2.8 of Earths. Planetary moons may smaller still, having less gravity again due to their lower mass. There are some very small moons which are only a few km across - these will have a gravity (everything with mass has a gravitational field), but this will be tiny for such a small object.


How does the force of gravity on the moon compare to that on Earth?

The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.


How does the size of how does the size of the force exerted by earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on earth?

The force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car is equal in size (magnitude) to the force the car exerts on Earth. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What is stronger than earths gravity?

The gravity of a black hole is stronger than Earth's gravity. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from them.


What is mars gravity force earths gravity equals 1?

No, Its gravity is much lower due to a lower overall mass of the planet. Mars' gravity is about 37.6% of the Earths.

What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons


How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?

The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'


What is the exact distance when the earths gravity becomes 0 or moons gravity takes over?

What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.


How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?

If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
