GRAVITATIONAL FORCES: DIFFERENCES IN GRAVITY BETWEEN EARTH AND OTHER PLANETS
Keywords:
gravity, gravitational force, planetary gravity, Earth, solar system, planetary mass, surface gravityAbstract
This article examines the nature of gravitational forces and explores the differences in gravitational acceleration between Earth and other planets in the solar system. It highlights how variations in mass, radius, and composition affect gravitational strength, influencing planetary environments and conditions. Understanding these differences is essential for space exploration, planetary science, and the study of how gravity shapes celestial bodies.
