In order to demonstrate the gravitational acceleration on planetary bodies, a 2 meter diameter, and a 1 meter diameter sphere of water falls into a 3 m deep pool from 20 m and from 5 m height.

The motion of the fluid is simulated at the shown gravitational acceleration.

Program: Blender, the water is simulated with Mantaflow. In case of Charon and Enceladus you can see how the motion of the fluid changes due to surface tension, resulting in smaller splashes.

List of planetary bodies: Earth, Jupiter, Sun, Mars, Moon, Pluto, Charon, Europa, Enceladus

Music: Large Smile Mood - Nico Staf.
