Which planet has a greater range of temperatures than any other planet?
Mercury
Does a larger planet have greater or less acceleration of gravity?
A larger planet has a stronger gravitational force.
How does a planet's size affect its gravity?
The distance between a planet and an object affects the gravitational force between them. That means the size of a planet affects the value of the "surface gravity" for that planet. The greater thedistance from the surface to the center of the planet, the smaller the gravity at the surface (for the same planet mass). An example is the fact that Mars and Mercury have almost exactly the same surface gravity. Mars has more mass than Mercury, but this is balancedby the fact that Mercury hasthe smaller radius.
How do you know that Mercury is the planet that you could jump the highest on?
I think its because of its weak gravitational pull.
Why is the weight of a body vary from one planet to another?
Yes. Weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, so the greater (or lower) the gravitational acceleration, the greater (or lower) the weight.
How gravitational contraction occur in planet Jupiter?
It occurs in the same way as everywhere else. The greater the mass the more powerful the gravitational attraction.
Why is the level of gravity different on pluto than earth?
The amount of gravity you get is dependent on the size of the planet/object. Pluto's gravitational pull is much less than that of Earth due to Pluto being much lighter.Earth has a much greater mas than Pluto does.Pluto is a smaller planet and has less of a gravitational pull
Would your weight be the same on mercury?
no........ the weight is determined by the gravitational pull on any object gravitational pull of different planet is different. therefore, the weight changes
Which planet has the GREATEST attraction to the sun?
The planet that has the greatest attraction to the sun is Mercury because of its close proximity. It experiences the strongest gravitational pull from the Sun.
What is Orbital Speed?
The orbital speed of a planet is a direct result of the gravitational force between that planet and the Sun. The greater the force, the faster the speed.
How much gravity does Murcury have?
The gravitational force of a planet (or body in space) is directly related to its mass. Mercury is the planet with the least mass in the Solar System. Based on its size Mercury has only 1/3 of the gravitational force felt on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100-pounds on Earth, you would only be some 33 on Mercury's surface.
Why does mercury have almost no atmosphere?
Because the gravitational pull of the planet isn't strong enough to hold any gasses.
