Ceres Gravity/Size
CERES: THE BELT GIANT
Massive Equilibrium
Ceres accounts for 1/3 of the entire mass of the asteroid belt. It is the smallest of the dwarf planets but the largest object in the inner solar system.
Roughly the size of Texas.
Jump nearly 35 times higher than on Earth.
Ceres Stats
Dwarf Planet Mass Mapping. Analyzing the gravitational pull of the largest object in the belt. The Oat monitors the Gravity Constant to track how 940 km of diameter creates a 0.28 m/s² acceleration environment.

PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS
Ceres has a diameter of about **940 km**. It is so large that its own gravity has molded it into a spherical shape.
DAWN MISSION DATASURFACE GRAVITY
Gravity on Ceres is just **0.27 m/s²**, which is roughly **3%** of Earth's gravity. You could jump incredibly high here.
GRAVITY STATSMASS FRACTION
Ceres is so massive compared to other asteroids that it contains **one-third** of the entire mass of the Asteroid Belt.
