The more massive the object, the more you

If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you
would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.(100 x 2.4)
What is gravity?
If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you
would weigh 16 pounds on the Moon.(100 x .16)
What is gravity?
The closer to the Sun, the faster the object travels.
What is gravity?
The farther from the Sun, the slower the object
