Planet Hopper

Same mass, different planets. Predict g from the planet's mass and radius, then read the scale.

Physics · Class 11 · Surface gravity on other planets · 6 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Same rock, bigger planet: Surface gravity from mass and radius
  2. More mass, bigger radius: Mass and radius pull in opposite ways
  3. A day on Mars: Weight on another planet
  4. Mass or weight?: Mass stays, weight changes
  5. Moon jump: Jump height goes as 1/g
  6. Build a planet: g grows with density × radius
