Question
Imagine that nitrogen and other atmospheric gases were more soluble in water so that the atmosphere of the Earth is entirely absorbed by the oceans. Atmospheric pressure would then be zero, and outer space would start at the planet's surface. Would the Earth then have a gravitational field?
a.) Yes, and at the surface it would be larger in magnitude than 9.8 N/kg.
b.) Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value.
c.) Yes, and it would be somewhat less than 9.8 N/kg.
d.) Yes, and it would be much less than 9.8 N/kg.
e.) No, it would not.
Explanation / Answer
The right answer is Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value
