"Surface gravity" is simply the strength of the gravitational field of a planet (or other object) at its surface. Often it is measured as the "acceleration due to gravity".
On Earth this is about 9.8 meters per second per second.
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
0.827
Less gravity means that the force pulling you towards the surface is decreased, resulting in a lower weight relative to what you would experience on Earth. For example, your weight on the moon is about one-sixth of your weight on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity.
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Earth is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared.
An object that is stationary relative to Earth's surface is moving fastest relative to space at the Equator. This is because the Earth's rotation speed is greatest at the Equator, providing the highest linear velocity for an object on the Earth's surface.
9.8m/s2
That's going to depend on 'relative' to what ?Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Earth, it's precisely 1.000, or 100% .Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Pluto, it's 16.822, or 1,682.2 % .
Mars has 38% the pull of gravity than th Earth's.
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefor the weight of any object ... on thesurface of Mercury is 37.698% of its value on the surface of Earth. (rounded)
The question doesn't include enough information to make an answer possible.Whenever you talk "relative", you then must specify: relative to what.The weight of an object on the Earth's surface is much smaller than the sameobject's weight on the sun's surface, but much larger than its weight on thesurface of a bowling ball.
To find your weight on other planets, you would multiply your weight on Earth by the planet's surface gravity relative to Earth's surface gravity. For example, your weight on Mars would be your weight on Earth multiplied by 0.38, as Mars' surface gravity is 0.38 times that of Earth.
If you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 37.8lbs on Mercury.
No. The surface of the earth is held to the planet by gravity. However parts of the surface move relative one to another - this is called plate tectonics.
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
The gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value represents the acceleration due to gravity or the gravitational force experienced by objects on Earth.
The Moon's gravity is 6 times weaker than that on the Earth's surface.
Mercury has the highest surface gravity of the terrestrial planets. Its gravity is about 0.38 times that of Earth's gravity.
