Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which planet has the highest gravitational acceleration? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what gravitational acceleration means. It is the force of gravity that pulls objects towards a planet's center.
  • Step 2: Know that different planets have different sizes and masses, which affect their gravitational pull.
  • Step 3: Identify the planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
  • Step 4: Look up the gravitational acceleration for each planet. For example, Earth has about 9.81 m/s², while Jupiter has much more.
  • Step 5: Compare the gravitational accelerations. You will find that Jupiter's gravitational acceleration is about 24.79 m/s².
  • Step 6: Conclude that Jupiter has the highest gravitational acceleration among all the planets in our solar system.
