Answer:
Acceleration Due to Gravity in the Solar System:
g(Sun) = 274 m/s²
g(Mercury) = 3.7 m/s²
g(Venus) = 8.87 m/s²
g(Moon) = 1.62 m/s²
g(Earth) = 9.80665 m/s²
g(Mars) = 3.71 m/s²
g(Jupiter) = 24.79 m/s²
g(Saturn) = 10.44 m/s²
g(Uranus) = 8.87 m/s²
g(Neptune) = 11.15 m/s²
g(Pluto) = 0.62 m/s²
The acceleration due to gravity is different based on the mass of the star, planet, moon or asteroid and the distance from its center of mass and its surface. For that reason, gravity has a lesser pull on bodies of lesser mass or density than the Earth such as the moon.
