What is the surface gravity of Jupiter compared to Earth?
Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).
Can you walk on Jupiter’s gravity?
There is no firm surface on Jupiter, so if you tried to stand on the planet, you sink down and be crushed by the intense pressure inside the planet. If you could stand on the surface of Jupiter, you would experience intense gravity. The gravity at Jupiter’s surface is 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.
Which planet has strongest gravity?
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 surface gravity of Saturn?
10.44 m/s²
Saturn/Gravity
On which planet would you feel the heaviest?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with the most mass. Because of Jupiter’s mass, you would weigh more on that planet than on any other one in our Solar System.
Is Earth the only planet with gravity?
There is gravity in space – lots of it. Gravity is everywhere. Only then can you neglect earth’s gravity. Because gravity is everywhere in space, objects in space are always falling: towards the earth, towards the sun, and towards the galactic center.
Why is Jupiter so radioactive?
The huge region around the planet where Jupiter’s magnetic field controls the environment is called its magnetosphere. It is Jupiter’s combination of a strong magnetic field, Io’s prodigious source, and the magnetic coupling of charged particles to the planet’s rapid (10-hour) spin that drives the intense radiation.
Where is gravity the highest?
Mount Nevado Huascarán in Peru has the lowest gravitational acceleration, at 9.7639 m/s2, while the highest is at the surface of the Arctic Ocean, at 9.8337 m/s2.
Where is gravity the strongest and weakest?
In the case of the earth, the force of gravity is greatest on its surface and gradually decreases as you move away from its centre (as a square of the distance between the object and the center of the Earth).
How was Saturn named?
The farthest planet from Earth discovered by the unaided human eye, Saturn has been known since ancient times. The planet is named for the Roman god of agriculture and wealth, who was also the father of Jupiter.
Which planet has lowest gravity?
Mercury
| 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 |
What is Jupiter’s relative surface gravity compared to Earth?
Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).
What is Jupiter’s surface gravitational force?
While, as a gas giant, Jupiter has no surface per se, astronomers believe that within Jupiter’s atmosphere where the atmospheric pressure is equal to 1 bar (which is equal to Earth’s at sea level), Jupiter experiences a gravitational force of 24.79 m/s2 (which is the equivalent of 2.528 g).
What percent of Earth’s gravity does Jupiter have?
Although this is 318 times the mass of Earth, the gravity of Jupiter is only 254% of the gravity on Earth. The reason for this is the fact that gravitational force of a planet exerts upon an object at the planet’s surface is proportional to its mass and to the inverse of its radius squared and Jupiter is a large planet.
Does Jupiters gravity affect the Earth?
Jupiter, and all the other planets, affect the Earth slightly. Their gravity changes the orbit slightly, causes a very small contribution to tides, etc.
