      All of them!
      Planets can’t form without gravity.
      Mars’ gravity is about 3 times weaker than on Earth. (Because it is smaller)
      Jupiter’s gravity is about 2.5 times stronger than Earth’s! It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it would be struggle to even lift a can of soup!
      Anything with mass can have gravity (even we do!), it’s just they have to be really really heavy for anything to feel it!
      Fantastic Question,
      Ryan 😀

      Everything with mass has gravity which means there is gravity on every planet!

      The heavier a planet is the more gravity it will have. Even you and I have gravity. If we were in the middle of space and not near anything else, we would eventually move towards each other because of our gravity.
