The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.

newtons are how high the gravity of a planet is which relates to measurement of of an object's weight not distance


How strongly the planet youre on pulls on you is your?

That force is called gravity. Gravity is a force of attraction that pulls objects with mass toward one another. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.


What factors affect the acceleration due to gravity on a planet and how?

By far the most significant factor is the mass of the planet, thus, primarily effects which alter mass would be those which affect the gravitational field. There are some relativistic effects which can affect mass or gravity such as speeds approaching that of light, and also spin which can alter the radial component of the gravitational field, through the frame dragging effect (usually explained through general relativity's description of gravitation as a curvature of spacetime).


What gravity on an object?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. On Earth, gravity accelerates objects at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 towards the center of the planet.


What is the force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet?

The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is calculated by the product of the mass of the person or object and the gravitational constant acceleration for the planet. For Earth, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m / s^2.

How does mass affect the gravity on a planet or the sun?

The greater the mass the stronger the gravitational pull. You probably mean the "surface gravity". This is also affected by the distance of the surface from the center of the planet or Sun. The strength of the gravity falls in proportion to the distance squared, in accordance with Newton's Law of Gravity.


Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?

Yes, there is a relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and its surface gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the gravitational pull from the sun, which can affect the planet's own gravity. However, other factors, such as a planet's mass and composition, also play a significant role in determining its surface gravity.


Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?

No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.


How did newton's work on orbit add to the work Kepler had done?

Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.


Discuss which factors determine the force of gravity between a planet and a star?

The force of gravity between a planet and a star is determined by the masses of the planet and the star, as well as the distance between them. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Does a planet have less gravity if it is further away from the sun?

No. The surface gravity of a planet is a product of its size and mass. It has nothing to do with distance from the sun. However, a planet farther away from the sun will experience a weaker pull from the sun's gravity.


Upon what factors value of g depends?

The value of the acceleration due to gravity (g) depends on the mass of the planet and the distance from the center of the planet. It is inversely proportional to the distance squared and directly proportional to the mass of the planet.


How does a planet's gravity vary with its mass?

The gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. For the gravity on the surface of the planet, the distance is just the planet's radius. Thus, if a planet has three times the mass, it has three times the gravity. If you are three times as far away, the gravity decreases by a factor of nine.


How does the gravity on a planet vary with their mass?

Gravity on a planet varies because it depends upon mass and distance. Mass is proportional to gravity is and every planet have different sizes and masses.F = G(mass1*mass2)/D squared.(G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.)


Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?

No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.


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.
