The value of g on any other planet can be calculated from the mass of the planet and the radius of the planet. The equation takes the following form: Using this equation, the following acceleration of gravity values can be calculated for the various planets. read more
This numerical value for the acceleration of a free-falling object is such an important value that it is given a special name. It is known as the acceleration of gravity - the acceleration for any object moving under the sole influence of gravity. read more
