It all starts with a curiosity, The gravity of the planets




Jupiter has the most gravity, eight times that of the earth, much more than that of the earth, you would be quite crushed in Jupiter, but Saturn because it is less dense and although it has several times the mass of the earth, 95 masses terrestrials, the important thing about gravity or a determining factor is density, Saturn is very not dense and that is why if you could be in an airship in the clouds of Saturn you would have a sensation of gravity very similar to that of Earth, a 10% more.


If you weigh 80 kg on Earth on Saturn, in that airship that travels through the clouds of Saturn you would weigh perhaps 85 kg, you would not notice the difference on Saturn and many times in the news they say that a super-Earth has been found, a super-Earth is a planet like the earth, a rocky planet and many of them are in the habitable zone, and they say “it has twice the mass of the earth” or “three times the mass of the earth”, it does not mean that they have twice the mass of the earth. Earth's gravity.


The earth is a very dense planet, in fact it is the densest planet in the solar system, we even beat Mercury by a little in density and that is why we have a fairly large surface gravity and those super earths do have a lower density than that of the earth as well. They may have a gravity that does not correspond even though they have two Earth masses, that does not correspond to twice that of the Earth, perhaps they have a slightly greater gravity but the mass does not correspond to the gravity of the planet, there are more factors at play.
