eclipse As seen from the Earth‚ a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth‚ and the Moon fully or partially blocks ("occults") the Sun.

Hypothesis: If the acceleration due to gravity is measured on Earth‚ Moon‚ and Mars‚ then the results will be different due to the fact that each planet and satellite has a different gravitational attraction since each has a different mass. The researcher believes that each of the values will differ with the largest acceleration being Earth and the smallest acceleration being the Moon. The researcher also predicts that their results will be comparable to given standards however
