Homework Statement
We know IO Jupiter's moon creates heat as gravity changes. The volume of atoms must play a role in the amount of gravity some how. So mass, gravity volume and pressure in the very center of a planet must relate to rach other some how.
Relevant Equations
Ms2 = psi = mass
Gravity in the very center of the planet must be zero because all other atoms are pulling evenly around the center.
We have a deap gold mine in South Africa and uranium waste storage Norway.
Has the force of gravity shown change at these depths. Even at the bottom of the Pacific ocean gravity must have been measured. Is Earth's crus
And has this type of study made a relationship as different planets have different desitys.
Even the different types of atoms in a planet must make changes to the results. Our plant's atmosphere is bonbarded with solar rays that a balance between gravity and the strength of solar ray bonbardment must be related unless our atmosphere is still growing that I dealt.

So the question I should first ask is what is known.

Acceleration due to gravity is zero, yes.

Yes, we can measure changes in gravity in depressions in the Earth.

- different planets have different densities
- different types of atoms in a planet
These are all factors that are included in the planet's mass.
The other thing that affects your wight on the surface* is the radius of the planet.

*and, I suppose, whether it has a surface to speak of

About what ? Most of your ramblings seem rhetorical.

Io's heat is a result of lots and lots of external gravity sources.

Yes, your "solar rays" push the Earth into a slightly higher orbit than it would be, without ... say half a kilometre ? Total guess. You want a seriously impressive example, look up how stars work, particularly supernovae.

ps: spellcheck and proofread. And, why is it in the Homework section ?

The heat is generated in Io by changing external fields which squeeze it in changing directions.
The excess heat within the Earth (compared to the surface) is mostly a result of two causes:
  • Primordial heat from the gravitational energy released as the Earth formed from the solar system’s protoplanetary disc.
  • Decay of radioactive elements within the Earth.
As Lord Kelvin showed, if it were not for the latter there'd be little primordial heat left.

For neither body is the heat in any way a result of how the body's gravitational field varies with depth.

1. How is gravity converted into pressure inside a planet?

Gravity is converted into pressure inside a planet through the weight of the planet's layers compressing the material beneath it. As the layers get closer to the center of the planet, the weight and pressure increase, resulting in higher temperatures and density.

2. Can gravity be converted into pressure in all planets?

Yes, gravity can be converted into pressure in all planets as long as they have enough mass to create a strong gravitational force. The larger the planet, the more pressure is created at its center.

3. What factors affect the conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet?

The main factors that affect the conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet are the planet's mass, size, and composition. A larger and denser planet will have a stronger gravitational force and therefore, more pressure at its center.

4. How does the conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet impact its internal structure?

The conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet plays a crucial role in shaping its internal structure. The high pressure and temperature at the center of the planet can cause the material to melt and form a solid core surrounded by layers of liquid and solid materials.

5. Can the conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet be harnessed for energy?

While the conversion of gravity into pressure inside a planet is a natural process, it cannot be harnessed for energy in the same way that we harness other forms of energy. However, understanding this process can help us better understand the formation and evolution of planets and their potential for sustaining life.
