Gravity is the pull that a planet exerts towards its centre. Link to post Share on other sites. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a volume 1,300 times that of Earth.
Specifically, Jupiter has about 20.87 m/s2 gravity while earth only has 9.766 m/s2. As Jupiter has more gravity compared to Earth, time moves slower on Jupiter compared to Earth. Let's please ignore those facts for this question). In practical application, if you weight 180 pounds on planet earth then expect yourself to feel 426 pounds at the cloud surface of the giant gas planet. Question: Compare Jupiter's gravity to Earth. The gravity on Mars is 3.711 m/s², which is just 38 percent the gravity on Earth. Not exactly. I think you mean Earth is denser. And that’s true. The surface gravity on Mercury is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mercury. Share this post. It's so huge, in fact, that it doesn't actually orbit the Sun. Density is not the same thing as mass. Jupiter has more mass than Earth so its gravity is two and a half times greater. Jupiter's gravity is 24.79 m/s² or 2.528 g. That means the gravitational force on Jupiter is about 2 1/2 times that of earth, and everything would weight 2 1/2 times what it weighed on earth. We all know that gravity is different on Mars versus the moon versus the Earth. We get density by measuring the average mass by volume.

See Full Answer 4. Gravity depends on mass. Earth’s gravity is 9.807 m/s², compared to the moon’s gravity of 1.62 m/s² or just 17 percent of Earth’s gravity. But I want to know if the jupiter's gravity do anything on earth, like the moon affects the tide of the oceans? Lets assume I am on Jupiter. (I know it is a gas planet, full of hydrogen and helium, has extreme pressure, etc. A Massive Planet. Huge.. Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun, gas giant, and subject of the Juno mission, is huge. Jupiter’s gravity is much greater than Earth’s.
