  2. Gravity map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_map

    Goddard Mars Model (GMM) 3 is a gravity map of the gravitational field on the planet Mars. [2] Three orbital craft over Mars, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), Mars Odyssey (ODY), and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) assisted in the creation of the GMM 3 by the study of their orbital flight paths.

  3. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

    Earth's gravity vs. distance from it, from the surface to 30 000 km Earth vs Mars vs Moon gravity at elevation. Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth's surface because greater altitude means greater distance from the Earth's centre.

    According to the IAU's explicit count, there are eight planets in the Solar System; four terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and four giant planets, which can be divided further into two gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and two ice giants (Uranus and Neptune). When excluding the Sun, the four giant planets account for more than ...

  5. Gravitational field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_field

    In classical mechanics, a gravitational field is a physical quantity. [5] A gravitational field can be defined using Newton's law of universal gravitation. Determined in this way, the gravitational field g around a single particle of mass M is a vector field consisting at every point of a vector pointing directly towards the particle. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopotential_spherical...

    If Earth's shape were perfectly known together with the exact mass density ρ = ρ(x, y, z), it could be integrated numerically (when combined with a reciprocal distance kernel) to find an accurate model for Earth's gravitational field. However, the situation is in fact the opposite: by observing the orbits of spacecraft and the Moon, Earth's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_gravity

    rad/s is the diurnal angular speed of the Earth axis, and km the radius of the reference sphere, and ⁡ the distance of the point on the Earth crust to the Earth axis. [ 3 ] For the mass attraction effect by itself, the gravitational acceleration at the equator is about 0.18% less than that at the poles due to being located farther from the ...

  8. Gravity of Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Mars

    The gravity of Mars is a natural phenomenon, due to the law of gravity, or gravitation, by which all things with mass around the planet Mars are brought towards it. It is weaker than Earth's gravity due to the planet's smaller mass. The average gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.728 m/s 2 (about 38% of the gravity of Earth) and it varies. [1]
