Do other planets have gravitational force?
Yes! Anything that has mass has gravity. The more mass something has (the bigger it is), then the more gravity it will have. So everything around us (including all the planets) have gravity!
What is the force of attraction between sun and planets?
Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth’s surface. Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet’s size and mass determines its gravitational pull.
Is there a gravitational pull between the sun and Mars?
In this lesson, learn the answers to these questions and more!
Is there a gravitational force between Jupiter and the sun?
The gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter is 12 times greater than the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth. Earth may be closer to the Sun than Jupiter, but Jupiter’s mass more than makes up for it’s severe distance.
Which planet has more gravitational force?
Jupiter
Jupiter has the highest amount of gravity in our solar system. Jupiter is the largest in our Solar System, meaning it also has the highest gravity. You would weigh two and a half times on Jupiter than what you would on Earth.
What is the gravitational force on each planet?
Gravity on other objects in space
| Space object | g, gravitational field strength (N/kg) |
|---|---|
| Venus | 8.8 |
| Earth | 9.8 |
| Moon (satellite) | 1.7 |
| Mars | 3.7 |
What holds Earth’s gravitational force?
The force of Earth’s gravity is the result of the planets mass and density – 5.97237 × 1024 kg (1.31668×1025 lbs) and 5.514 g/cm3, respectively. This results in Earth having a gravitational strength of 9.8 m/s² close to the surface (also known as 1 g), which naturally decreases the farther away one is from the surface.
How much gravitational force is between the earth and the sun?
Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun, given that the mass of the earth = 6×1024kg and of the Sun = 2×1030kg. The average distance between the two is 1.5×1011m.
What is the gravitational force between the Venus and the sun?
Gravity Table
| OBJECT | ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY | GRAVITY |
|---|---|---|
| Mars | 3.7 m/s2 or 12.2 ft/s 2 | .38 G |
| Venus | 8.87 m/s2 or 29 ft/s 2 | 0.9 G |
| Jupiter | 24.5 m/s2 or 80 ft/s 2 | 2.54 |
| the Sun | 275 m/s2 or 896 ft/s 2 | 28 G |
Which planet has the lowest gravitational force?

Which planet has the smallest gravitational field strength? An object has a mass of 10 kg….
| Planet | Diameter (Compared to Earth) | Gravitational Field Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | 0.4 | 4 N/kg |
| Venus | 0.9 | 9 N/kg |
| Earth | 1 | 10 N/kg |
| Mars | 0.5 | 4 N/kg |
