The document summarizes key properties of gravity in the solar system. It provides a table comparing the mass, diameter, density, gravitational pull, and escape velocity of planets and major solar system bodies. It also discusses how high a human could theoretically jump on each planet, ranging from over 7 meters on Pluto to just 0.2 meters on Jupiter due to their differing gravitational strengths. A video and citations from Encyclopedia Britannica and other sources are also included.

2. MASS
● Mass, in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It
is, in effect, the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or
position upon the application of a force. The greater the mass of a body, the smaller the
change produced by an applied force.

3. DIAMETER
● The diameter of a circle is any segment of a straight line that passes through the center of the circle and
whose ends are in the circumference of the circle. There are infinite points in the circumference of a
circle, this means that a circle has an infinite number of diameters, and each diameter of the circle is of
equal lenght.

4. Density
● Density is defined as the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume of space the object takes up.

5. Gravity
Gravity is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe. Every object in the universe
has a gravitational pull on every other object.
The sun's gravity keeps all of our solar system's planets in orbit. Each planet, moon, and
asteroid, on the other hand, has its own gravitational pull defined by its density, size, mass,
and proximity to other celestial bodies.

6. Escape velocity (km/s)
● Kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed. One km/s is the equivalent of 1000 m/s or 3600 km/h.

8. How high could a human being jump on each planet
of the solar system?
● Mercury: If we don't get burnt, we could jump up to 1.2 meters on the closest planet to the Sun.
● Venus: The environmental conditions on Venus are also terrible, but we would only jump half a meter, or
about 0.6 meters.
● Earth: 0.5 meters is the average jump height for humans on Earth.
● Mars: 1.2 meters would allow us to jump above the light gravity of the Red Planet.
● Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest of all the planets, so it gives us the most gravity and the least momentum,
only 0.2 meters.
● Saturn: The second largest planet Saturn jumps only 0.4 meters.
● Uranus: On Uranus, we jump about 0.6 meters if you don't freeze.
● Pluto: Pluto is considered a dwarf planet due to its size, which also affects gravity and the jumps there,
which would be up to 7.6 meters.
