Because it's the biggest planet. More mass = more gravity.

ANSWER:According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of their masses ( i.e between the two mases- Jupiter and the object). So a higher mass results in higher force of gravity. Since jupitre posses the greatest mass it holds the strongest gravitational force and field.

What is gravity of Jupiter compared to the earth?

Since Jupiter has 317 times the mass of Earth, its gravitational attraction at any given distance is also 317 times greater. On the other hand, the surface gravity (please note that Jupiter doesn't have a proper "surface", though) is approximately 2.5 times that of Earth.


What is Jupiter gravity?

Comparing the size of Jupiter to earth, it is 318 times bigger than earth, and if the gravitational force of earth is 9.8, than than it should be 318 times more, but its not that huge, because gravitational force rely of certain factors that can change its value. The gravitational force of Jupiter is 254% compared to the earth. 2.54*9.8= 24.892.


How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?

weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth


How do you incerse the gravity?

Increasing gravity is not possible as it is a natural force determined by the mass of an object. Gravity can be simulated in various ways, such as using centrifugal force or creating environments with artificial gravity in science fiction settings, but these methods do not actually increase gravity itself.


What is acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter?

We can calculate the gravity on any planet or star by using this formula g = GM/r2 where M is mass of the planet or star G is universal gravitational constant g is acceleration due to gravity & r is the radius of the planet or star. Mass of Jupiter is 1.9 X 1027 kg Radius of Jupiter is 7 x 107 m Putting the values in formula we get g = (6.673 x 10-11) x (1.9 x 1027)/(7 x 107)2 = 26m/s2
