Surface Gravity on Saturn

---

The surface gravity on a planet can be determined from Newton 's Law of Universal Gravitation:

• F = G m₁m₂ / R²

This says that a planet of mass m₁
and radius R
will exert a force on an object (you) of mass m₂

• F = G m₁m₂ / R²

So we can relate the force on the surface of Saturn to the force on the surface of the Earth.
It will change like:

• m_Saturn / R²_Saturn

Since Saturn has a mass that is 95 times the mass of the Earth
and a radius that is 9.4 times the radius of the Earth
we expect the surface gravity to be

• 95/(9.4)² = 1.1 times the Earth's
