The weight of an object on a planet depends not only on its mass, but also on its distance from the planet’s center. The table on page 431 lists the weight of 80 kg on each planet in the solar system. Uranus has more than 14 times as much mass as earth, yet the gravitational force is less. Explain how this could be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Uranus has less mass than Earth

Explanation:

This is possible because of the mass of the planet. Distance and mass will influence the strength of gravity and the planet Uranus only contains gases and has no solids compared to Earth. This gives it less mass. Because of its small mass, the planet Uranus has less gravitational force.
