Imagine that there is something in space "x" amount of distance from the sun. At what speed or acceleration would the object travel towards the sun due to its gravity. Like wise, if the same object was the same distance from Mercury at what speed or acceleration would it travel towards Mercury due to its gravity. need this for all the planets and the sun.
I am making an interactive model of the solar system and I need to know the gravity values of all the planets and the sun.
If it is easier, I would love to know the actual gravity values of all the planets and the sun.

I know the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s/s
I need to know the rest of the planets AND the sun!

Check out this website, you can find all the info you need about each of the planets and the sun here.

If mass of a planet is equal to its theoretical density : M x dxd to the power of 100 mi , and distance expressed in Km from the axis... thus M = sum of d sq. x Xx Y/3
300/ power of 10000/400k
Then the force of the orbit to resist the gravitational influence
should be the total of the Mass, plus the axis rotatation expressed in terms of km of diameter based upon a notional cycle of between 25 to 26.
I hope this helps.
