A lot of scientist's believe that gravity is determined by the size of the planet. I however, believe that gravity is determined by the speed the planet is moving around the star and the speed of the planets rotation.

One should take care if you are talking about surface gravity however, since in that case also the radius of the planet is important. A heavy small radius planet has higher surface gravity than a heavy large radius planet. This is because in the former case the surface is deeper in the gravitational well than in the latter case.

What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
What two things determine weight?
Mass and gravity.
What do the length of the cord and gravity determine for a pendulum?
They determine the length of time of the pendulum's swing ... its 'period'.
What are two factors that determine the size of the force of the gravity?
-- the massses of the two masses that are being pulled together by gravity -- the distance between them
What are the factors which determine the distance that a projectile will travel?
gravity - velocity - windage - obstructions
What does the pull of gravity determine?

What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
What determine the shape of rain drops?
Gravity
Does mass determine the force of gravity?
You're on to it! Gravity appears to be a property of mass. No mass - no gravity. But exactly what gravity is we don't yet know.
What does the force of gravity on an object determine?
When you weigh yourself, the force of gravity is pulling you down to the scale. Therefore weight is determined by gravity.
What two things determine weight?
Mass and gravity.
What do the length of the cord and gravity determine for a pendulum?
They determine the length of time of the pendulum's swing ... its 'period'.
Why to determine the specific gravity?
Its handy in shortening equations and sums.
How do determine position of drainage gallery in a gravity dam?
Draingae
What characteristics determine whether a planet or moon can maintain an atmosphere?
gravity and temperature; It needs gravity so it can hold its atmosphere.
What two things determine the gravity of an object?
that's a difficult one but wait have you hear of earth rotation that maintains gravity.
What 3 factors determine the weight of an object?
Volume, density, and gravity.
