The mass of Jupiter is 1.898 × 1027 kg and the mass of its moon Io is × 1022 kg. The distance between Jupiter and Io is 421 700 km, and the force between them is 6.359 × 1022 N.

The gravitational field strength on Mercury is 3.8 N kg-1. On Mercury, an object with a mass of 76 kg would weigh N.

The mass of the Sun is 1.99 × 1030 kg. The asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter, lies at a distance of × 1011 m from the Sun, where the gravitational field strength from the Sun is 1.87 × 10-3 N kg-1.

Mars' moon Deimos has a mass of 1.48 × 1015 kg. At a distance of 15.0 km from the centre of Deimos, the gravitational potential is J kg-1.

The height of Mt Everest is 8848 m. The gravitational potential difference between the base of Mt Everest and its peak is J kg-1.

It takes 157 GJ of work to raise a 448 kg satellite into orbit from Earth's surface. The potential difference between Earth's surface and the satellite's orbit is MJ kg-1.

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.5 years, and an orbital radius of 1430 million km. Uranus has an orbital radius of 2880 million km, and an orbital period of years.

Venus has a mass of 4.868 × 1024 kg, a radius of 6052 km, and an escape velocity of km s-1.
