anonymous · Answer

Neptune, because it's the furthest away

irishboy123 · Answer

for a proper answer, test that

the force is $F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

so we are comparing $\dfrac{m}{r^2}$'s for these planets as $\mu = GM = const.$

that would be an interesting and informative task.

Neptune coz  gravitational force decreases with increase in distance

anonymous · Answer

Because they just happen to know the masses and distances of all the planets from the sun Irishboy?

well i've just done what i suggested doing, it took 5 minutes and involved pulling a few numbers off the web, and i now know the answer.

i will be happy to compare notes with anyone who is willing to go beyond guessing....
