Ganymede has the most gravity of any moon in our solar system because it is the largest moon and also has a dense core. Its size and composition contribute to its strong gravitational pull.
The gravity on Ganymede, which is one of Jupiter's moons, is about 0.146 times that of Earth's gravity. This means that if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 14.6 pounds on Ganymede.
On Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, the acceleration due to gravity is about 1.428 m/s^2. To find the weight of the astronaut's spacesuit on Ganymede, you would multiply the mass of the astronaut by the acceleration due to gravity on Ganymede. Therefore, the weight of the astronaut's 900kg spacesuit on Ganymede would be about 1286 N.

Yes, both Ganymede and Callisto, which are moons of Jupiter, have gravity due to their mass. However, the gravitational force on these moons is weaker than on Earth because they are much smaller and less massive.
Ganymede has a very thin atmosphere that is composed mostly of oxygen, with trace amounts of carbon dioxide and ozone. However, the total amount of oxygen on Ganymede is extremely small compared to Earth's atmosphere, as Ganymede's gravity is too weak to hold onto a significant amount of gases.
