Solution

  1. Acceleration due to gravity is given as g=GMR2 Where, G = Universal constant, M = mass of the planet, R = Radius of the planet.
  2. From the above equation, we can say that acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of the planet, the gravitational constant, and the radius of the planet.
