If you dropped a ball while standing on the surface of Uranus, at what rate would it accelerate toward the ground?

Uranus is a ball of ice and gas, so you can’t really say that it has a surface. If you tried to land a spacecraft on Uranus, it would just sink down through the upper atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, and into the liquid icy center. So it would sink into the planet.

And so would you if your standing on Uranus ·ω·
