Jupiter has the strongest gravitational force because it has more mass than any other planet in our solar system. Gravity is directly proportional to mass in that the more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.
Hope I was helpful.

Planet With Most Gravity

The largest planet (greatest gravity) in our solar system is Jupiter
In 2001 there was a planet discovered around another star that has an estimated mass 17 times that of Jupiter.
There have been more than 150 planets found around other stars...

The planet that has the greatest gravity would be Jupiter. The mass of Jupiter has been calculated to be 1.9 * 1027 kg which is 318 times greater than the mass of Earth

I need to put in my two cents here before you get confused.
Yes, Jupiter has the greatest gravational force of any planet in the solar system, and it is the most massive.
However, except for one person (and he just gave the force and did not mention mass), everyone seems to be forgetting another factor for determining gravational force, the radius of the planet!
The second to most massive planet is Saturn, so, going by what the others say you would think it has the second strongest gravitional force. WRONG!
The planet with the second strongest gravational force is Neptune with a foce of 1.14 that of Earth, then Saturn with 1.06 then Earth.
Calculating gravational force is fairly easy, but you need to have all the factors to do it. . .

You should understand that the ball has gravitational potential energy in the first place from the planet with a greater gravity. This is what gave it the kinetic energy to accelerate down to the planet keeping in mind that gravitational fields are infinite. It's just that it's so small on earth that the ball doesn't feel it, but it has that potential energy to turn it into KE like in your case when it gets close. energy is NEVER EVER created =) Hope that helps^^ Physics lover lol

In our solar system it would be the planet with the greatest mass. Jupiter... the big daddy of planets.

In the Solar System, Jupiter has the highest gravity, since it is the most massive. Gravity is directly proportional to mass.
