To determine the gravitational force on Herman while standing on each planet, we need to understand the relative gravitational pull of each planet in our solar system.
The gravitational force on an object depends on the mass of the planet and the distance from the center of the planet. The gravitational acceleration (g) on each planet is as follows:
- Earth: ~9.81 m/s²
- Venus: ~8.87 m/s²
- Mars: ~3.71 m/s²
Using these values, we can rank the planets from most gravity to least gravity:
1. **Earth** (9.81 m/s²)
2. **Venus** (8.87 m/s²)
3. **Mars** (3.71 m/s²)
Therefore, the correct order from most gravitational force to least gravitational force is:
**Earth, Venus, Mars**
The correct answer is **a**: Earth, Venus, Mars.
