Surface Gravity Table: Surface gravity by Mass of the body

Reference table of surface gravity for Surface Gravity across a range of mass of the body values — exact, engine-computed figures you can read off at a glance.

This surface gravity reference table shows the surface gravity for a range of mass of the body values, assuming a radius of 6,371 km. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Surface Gravity Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table

Find the row closest to your mass of the body and read across to the surface gravity. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Surface Gravity Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Surface Gravity Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.

Frequently asked questions

Each cell is computed with the standard formula using exact arithmetic — the same calculation behind our Surface Gravity Calculator — so every figure is accurate for the stated assumptions.

Yes. The table covers common mass of the body values; for any exact figure, enter your own numbers in the Surface Gravity Calculator.
