Gravity on the Comet?


Would there be any gravity on the comet?

reply

Yes cause it has a mass. But it would be really low. As an illustration, if you hold an object in your arm and drop it, it would take more than a minute for it to fall on the ground.

reply

Apis is correct. Anything with mass has gravity. YOU have gravity. But the mass of the comet is very low, so its gravity is low. But if you let go of, say, a golf ball on the surface of the comet, it would fall to the surface. (Ignoring effects such as the outgasing of the comet and any related turbulence. )
