Question

Uranus is a massive ice giant planet with a diameter of 51,118 kilometers and a mass of 8.685 × 1025 kilograms (over 4 times Earth’s diameter and 14.5 times Earth’s mass). The small, rocky-metallic terrestrial planet Venus is smaller than planet Earth, with a mass of 4.869 × 1024 kilograms and a diameter of 12,104 km. Which planet has the strongest surface gravity (and where would you feel like you had the greatest weight?) Uranus has the higher surface gravity and you would weigh 17.8 times as much on Uranus than on Venus Venus has the higher surface gravity and you would weight 4.22 times as much on Venus than on Uranus Uranus has the higher surface gravity and you would weigh 4.22 times as much on Uranus than on Venus Venus has the higher surface gravity and you would weigh 23.7% more on Venus than on Uranus (0.237 times more) Both Uranus and Venus have the same relative surface gravity and you would weigh the same amount on each

Explanation / Answer

Uranus has the higher surface gravity and you would weigh 4.22 times as much on Uranus than on Venus. Force of gravity at Uranus: 8.87 m/s2; Force of Gravity at Venus: 8.69 m/s2
