Image is incorrect

[edit]

This image assumes a constant density, which is horribly wrong for Earth and not true for the other objects either. In particular, the local acceleration *increases* with decreasing distance for Earth until you reach the (very dense) core. We have better graphs with the actual values already. --mfb (talk) 21:42, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
