Gravity on the Planets of the Solar System The force of gravity varies significantly across the different celestial bodies in our solar system. Each planet, as well as other objects like the Moon and the Sun, has its own unique gravitational pull due to differences in mass and size. This variation in gravity affects everything from the weight of objects on these bodies to the behavior of their atmospheres and geological processes. Earth: Our home planet has a gravity of m/s². Moon: The Moon’s gravity is about 1/6th of Earth’s, at m/s². Sun: The Sun, being the most massive object in our solar system, has a gravity of 274 m/s². Mercury: This small planet has a gravity of 3.7 m/s². Venus: Similar in size to Earth, Venus has a gravity of m/s². Mars: Known as the Red Planet, Mars has a gravity of m/s². Jupiter: The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter's gravity is m/s². Saturn: Famous for its rings, Saturn has a gravity of m/s². Uranus: This ice giant has a gravity of m/s². Neptune: The farthest ice giant from the Sun, Neptune has a gravity of m/s². Pluto: Although classified as a dwarf planet, Pluto has a gravity of m/s². Understanding the differences in gravitational forces helps scientists and engineers design spacecraft and plan missions to these distant worlds. #infographic #space #gravity #solarsystem #Earth #Moon #Sun #Mercury #Venus #Mars #Jupiter #Saturn #Uranus #Neptune #Pluto
