Sentence examples for low surface gravity from inspiring English sources

The depth of the craters appears to be a consequence of the low surface gravity, which apparently is not strong enough to cause slumping.

Some of the impact-generated material on Itokawa will be lost to space due to the asteroid's low surface gravity.

The low surface gravity of asteroid Itokawa (~10−4 m/s2) compared to the Moon (1.6 may2) may cause micrometeoroid impact residue to be distributed over large areas (Hirata et al. 2009).

Dwarf stars, with great surface gravities, tend to have high atmospheric densities; giants and supergiants, with low surface gravities, have relatively low densities.

The dust could be ash erupting from volcanos and escaping due to the small planet's low surface-gravity, or it could be from metals that are vaporized by the high temperatures of being so close to the star with the metal vapor then condensing into dust.

At such low-surface gravities, even very small amounts of cohesive strength (think blancmange) can support towering cliff-faces".
