📽The animation demonstrates the time it takes for the ball to fall on the surface of a celestial body from a height of 1 kilometer without taking into account the influence of the atmosphere (for giants, the boundary of the cloud layer is taken as the surface). Note that the ball will fall slower on Uranus than on Earth, although this ice giant is 14 times heavier! Despite the large mass of the planet, the body falls much further from its barycenter.
