Gravitational Pull

Avery and Kai are planning a trip to Jupiter. They learn that Jupiter has a much larger mass than Earth. How does this affect the gravitational pull on objects on Jupiter compared to Earth?

• There is no gravitational pull on Jupiter.

• The gravitational pull on Jupiter is stronger than on Earth.

• The gravitational pull on Jupiter is the same as on Earth.

• The gravitational pull on Jupiter is weaker than on Earth.
