How does the gravity of the planet vary with the planets mass?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
How does the planets mass vary with the gravity of the planet?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
How would the period of a planet change as its distance fro the sun increases?
the planet would have its year shorter
How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?
by dancing
What object in the solar system has the most gravitational force a planet has?
At any given distance, the object with the greatest mass also has the greatest gravitational force. That's the Sun. The Sun also has the largest surface gravity.
What happens to the distance between each planet the farther they get away from the sun?
It increases.
How longest time it takes planet to revolve around the sun?
It depend on the distance of planet from sun and size of planet. If distance increases the time ie. Year increases
What happens to gravitational force between the earth and the moon if the distance is doubled?
The moon might escape it's orbit and become a moon of another planet.
How could one decrease the gravitational force between a planet and an object orbiting the planet?
Gravitational force depends only on the masses involved, and on the distance. Thus, to DECREASE the gravitational force, you would have to reduce the mass of the planet or the object (take some stuff away from it); or increase the distance.
How does the gravity of the planets vary with he mass?
The gravitational field (gravitational attraction per unit mass) at any given distance is directly proportional to the planet's mass.The gravitational field at the planet's SURFACE also depends on the planet's radius.
How the gravity of the planet vary with their mass?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
A star has a planet held in orbit by gravitational attraction If the distance between the star and the planet were 3 times as great what effect would this have on their gravitational attraction for?
The gravitational attraction would b 9 times weaker because gravity is dependent on the inverse square of the distance.
How does the gravity of the planet vary with the planets mass?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
How does the planets mass vary with the gravity of the planet?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
How would the period of a planet change as its distance fro the sun increases?
the planet would have its year shorter
How does the distance from the sun of a planet affect the planet’s orbitalvelocity?
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
How does the gravity of the vary with their mass?
The gravitational acceleration of a planet at a fixed distance from its centeris directly proportional to its mass.
