Did we solve your problem today?

Surface gravity depends on a body's mass and radius.

The math behind it

g = G·M ÷ r². Earth's values give about 9.82 m/s².

Worked example

Earth's mass and radius → about 9.82 m/s² (1 g).

FAQ

Why is the Moon's gravity weaker?

It has far less mass, despite its smaller radius.
