[Mr Bob]

Question on another forum.

"I think that its hard to compare the impact of an asteroid on Jupiter to the impact of one on earth, as Jupiter is much larger and therefore has a much stronger gravitational pull, and the impact would be harder. My partner thinks that the gravitational pull would not affect the speed at which the asteroid hits Jupiter because the asteroid gets most of its speed from the fact that it is chunks flying off big rocks / planets or whatever"

Any ideas? Cause I sure dont have any. tia
