The mass of jupiter is 319 times more than that of the earth but its accelearation due to gravity is 2.5 times more than the earth. why?
1 Answer
The mass of jupiter is 319 times more than that of the earth but its accelearation due to gravity is 2.5 times more than the earth because accelearation due to gravity is not only depends upon a time but it also depends upon the radius. The accelearation due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of radius.
