Scientific paper

Findings based on gravimetric observations that relate to gravitational anomalies on Mars, Venus, and Earth are presented. Results for the three planets were compared. Interpretation of the results was based on Stokes constants using figures for field characteristics in a finite number of isolated points. Details of interpretation of gravitational anomalies are given for each of three plants. The main conclusions are: there is substantial difference in the structure and nature of compression on the three planets, the Earth's lithosphere is sufficiently thin and flexible to retain the shape of a hydrostatic balanced body, the probable source of gravitational anomalies on Venus is variation in the depth of the second-phase mantle boundary, and 11 of the 13 major anomalies detected on Mars result from irregularities in the lithosphere-mantle disjunction.
