Jupiter shown in the image 'Jupiter Marble' as recorded by Juno The Gravity Science experiment and instrument set aboard the Juno Jupiter orbiter is designed to monitor Jupiter 's gravity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It maps Jupiter's gravitational field , which will allow the interior of Jupiter to be better understood. [ 3 ]
^ Surface gravity derived from the mass m, the gravitational constant G and the radius r: Gm/r 2. ^ Escape velocity derived from the mass m, the gravitational constant G and the radius r: √ (2Gm)/r. ^ Orbital speed is calculated using the mean orbital radius and the orbital period, assuming a circular orbit. ^ Assuming a density of 2.0
Surface gravity mapping is often used to map out gravity anomalies such as a Bouguer anomaly or isostatic gravity anomalies. [1] Derivative gravity maps are an extension of standard gravity maps, involving mathematical analysis of the local gravitational field strength, to present data in analogous formats to a geologic map.

Image of the main asteroid belt and the Trojan asteroids. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. It is made of thousands of rocky planetesimals from 1,000 kilometres (621 mi) to a few meters across. These are thought to be debris of the formation of the Solar System that could not form a planet due to Jupiter's gravity.
