How Strong Is Gravity?

Gravity at the surface of each planet, in metres per second squared

Gravity is the pull that keeps you on the ground. On Earth it is 9.8: drop something and every second it falls 9.8 metres per second faster.
On Jupiter gravity is 23.1, more than twice Earth's: you would weigh over twice as much, if there were anywhere to stand.
Mars and Mercury both have 3.7, a bit more than a third of Earth's, so a jump there would carry you about two and a half times as high.
