How is Saturn's gravity different than our Earth ?

Question

I'm Wondering how Saturn's gravity is different than our Earth.
So far I know It is much greater because the mass of Saturn is much larger than Earth because of the size difference. What other reasons is it's gravity is different?

Answer 1

Saturn is a large gaseous planet, while Earth is more solid, with only a small atmosphere. Saturn is probably less dense than Earth. And Saturn has a much larger radius than Earth.

If you were "standing" on the surface of Saturn, you'd be subject to its gravity, in inverse proportion to the square of its radius.

If you were orbiting Earth at a distance from Earth's center equal to Saturn's radius, your "weight", that is, Earth's gravitational pull on you, would be considerably less (by the square of the ratio of the planetary radii) than your "regular" weight on Earth because you'd be such a distance away from Earth's surface.

Hope that makes sense.

Answer 2

Saturn's mass is about 5.69 x 1026 kg. Although this is 95 times the mass of the Earth, the gravity on Saturn is only 1.08 times the gravity on Earth. This is because Saturn is such a large planet (and the gravitational force a planet exerts upon an object at the planet's surface is proportional to its mass and to the inverse of its radius squared).

A 100 pound person would only weigh 108 pounds on Saturn.

Saturn is the only planet in our Solar System that is less dense than water. Saturn would float if there were a body of water large enough!

Answer 3

the distance from saturn and the nearest biggest object. the elements on it.

Answer 4

saturn isn´t very dense, if you could drop it in a giant glass of water, it´ll float in the surface!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i donñt have the numbers here, but the difference exists(comparin it wth our planet)

Answer 5

There is no other difference, Gravily is the same, a standerd formula which is a measuerment.

Answer 6

by about 2 ZILLION litres, or about 100 million zillion hp!!
