The surface gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's surface gravity, which is approximately 8.87 m/sĀ². This means that objects on Venus weigh slightly less than they do on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull.
The gravity present on a planet is usually denoted by the acceleration an object would experience due to gravity on that planet's surface. If we stick to Newtonian gravity (which should be adequate for our present purpose) the acceleration due to gravity on a planet is given by: a = G*M / R^2 Where G is Newton's gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet, and R is its radius (remember we are standing on the surface). (Note: Here I have neglected the vector qualities of acceleration, this will not matter at present, the acceleration will be pointing down, towards the center of the planet.) From this formula we can see that the acceleration increases if the mass of the planet increases. This is to be expected; gravity (in Newtonian gravity) is caused by mass, and thus a bigger mass means a stronger gravitational field. Since Venus is less massive than Earth we might expect the surface gravity on Venus to be less than on Earth. However, we also have the R^2 in the denominator. This means the surface gravity on a planet will increase if the radius decreases (and the mass stays the same). This is also clear; if the radius is less then you stand deeper into the gravitational field. Venus is about the same size as Earth so this effect should not play as much a role as the difference in mass does. Thus, just by using these arguments we can already conclude that the surface gravity on Earth is larger than the surface gravity on Venus. Let us now look at some numbers. Earth's surface gravity is about 9.81 m/s^2 (it varies slightly from location to location). And Venus' surface gravity is 8.87 m/s^2, which is less, as expected. This means that if you weigh 70 kg on Earth you will weigh 70*(8.87/9.81) = ~63 kg on Venus.
Venus has weaker gravity than Earth. The surface gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's gravity.
On the surface of Venus, the acceleration of gravity, and therefore the weight of any object, is 90.3 percent of what it is on the surface of Earth.
The lower gravity on the Moon would allow the baseball to reach a higher altitude before falling back down compared to Venus, which has stronger gravity. Gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's gravity, while on the Moon it is about 16.5% of Earth's gravity, so the baseball on the Moon would experience less downward force and go higher when thrown with the same velocity.
The surface gravity of Venus is 90.4% that of Earth.
Yes. The surface gravity of Venus is about 92% that of the Earth.
An example of a planet with a gravity 2.54 times that of Earth is Venus. Venus has a surface gravity of 0.91 g, where 1 g is the gravitational force on Earth. This higher gravity on Venus means objects would weigh 2.54 times more than on Earth.
The surface gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's surface gravity, which is approximately 8.87 m/sĀ². This means that objects on Venus weigh slightly less than they do on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull.
The planet Venus. See more details here: http://www.answers.com/topic/Venus
The force of gravity at the surface of Venus is 8.87 meters per second per second, or 8.87 meters per second squared. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh approximately 91 pounds on Venus.
Venus is a planet
Really none, there is no actual planet that has the exact same gravity, some can be close, like saying it Gforce was 2000, and another was 2000, but actually its like 2000.01010203053232 and 2000.21020103020310. Mars and Venus are roughly the same size as earth (and thus have about the same gravity), but I don't think any planet in our solar system is exactly the same as earth. Gravity is determined by mass; the planet in our solar system with a mass closest to earth is Venus. Venus' gravity is 8.87 ms-2 whereas the Earth's gravity is 9.86 ms-2. Mars's gravity is 3.71 ms-2.
If your question only means: "....compared to planet Earth" the simple answer is that Venus' surface force of gravity is about 90% of that on Earth. If you need the formula to compare it to the force of gravity on any given other planet, here goes: The force of gravity of gravity on Venus is a function of its mass (mVenus) on some object of let's say a constant mass mconstant. In fact the gravitational force of any planet or other mass like an asteroid is a function of its mass. For the same distance from the center of mass of a planet, the more massive it is, the stronger gravitational force based on the equation F = G (mplanet mconstant)/r2. Where G is a constant and r is the distance between the center of masses of the two objects. So look up the mass of Venus compares to the other planets and you'll have your answer.
Yes. Gravity is exactly the same everywhere ... directly proportional to the product of two masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. In the case of Venus, this means that the acceleration due to gravity on that planet's surface, as well as the mutual gravitational forces between the planet and any object on its surface, is roughly 90% of what it is on Earth's surface.

Planets with a smaller surfae gravity than Earth are Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Uranus.
