Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface? explain your answer

Jupiter

Explanation

gravitational force depends on the mass of the body. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the the mass of body.

We know that gravitational force act on a satellite of mass m orbiting 100km above the surface is given by the following formula

Here,

G is universal gravitational constant

m-mass of satellite

M- Mass of celestial body which pull the satellite

r- distance between satellite and celestial body

Gravitational force will be maximum when M will be maximum

we know that Jupiter is the largest planet and it  has the largest mass hence Jupiter will have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface
