Science. Planner. 1/31/17 WALT: understand Surface Gravity. WU: Science Planner 1/31/17 WALT: understand Surface Gravity WU: The Planet Mercury has a Surface Gravity of 0.38 compared to Earth. What would be your weight if you were standing on the surface of Mercury? Jupiter has a surface Gravity of 2.36 compared to Earth. Calculate your weight on Jupiter. CW: Vocabulary Inner Planets and their exploration.
Vocabulary: Surface Gravity: The Gravitational force the planet exerts at its surface. (Compared to Earth) Mass – a measure of the amount of “matter” an object has. (Same everywhere) Weight – Measure of the force of Gravity on an object.
