Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The force of gravity is related to the masses of objects attracting each other. Which planet has the greatest mass?
A
Mercury 3.7
B
Jupiter 23.1
C
Neptune 11.0
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EXPLANATION: The gravitational acceleration depends on the mass and radius of the planet. The more the mass of the planet more is the gravitational acceleration. Jupiter has maximum mass so it also has maximum gravitational acceleration in comparison to other planets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational forces are considered to be inherently linked to what we call ‘mass’. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every object in the universe. The size of the gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the objects and weakens as the distance between them increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Among all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter is the only planet whose gravity is higher than all planets. Before moving on to the discussion, firstly know that-“What is gravitational force?”. The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gravity on Jupiter is greater than the gravity on Earth because Jupiter is more massive. Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three larger planets in the solar system, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all have massive gravity, but none compares to Jupiter’s. Note:It’s also important to note that, as a gas giant, Jupiter doesn’t have a real surface. If you stood on it, you would descend until you reached its (theorised) solid core.

Detailed explanation-6: -A black hole is a region of space, where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even light. It has the strongest gravitational pull in the entire universe.
