Gravity is caused by mass. Everything causes gravity but the bigger it is and more mass it has the more pull is felt by its gravity. So you are pulling the earth towards you and the earth is pulling you. The earth is much bigger and has more mass, so it pulls much more. Gravity gets weaker the further away you get from its source.

The earths crust does not have the same mass all over, so some areas have slightly less gravity than others. The differences between areas are very very small.

The moon has only a quarter the mass of the earth, so gravity on the moon is a quarter of earths gravity.

Not sure what you mean by "change gravity"; a nebula has mass, therefore it exerts a gravitational force.

Can change when the force of gravity change?

weight


Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?

Yes. As acceleration due to gravity increases so does the object's weight. The reverse is true when gravity decreases. Mass, however, does NOT change with gravity.


Does gravity give you mass?

No, it gives you weight. Mass does not change in the presence of gravity.


Does the centre of gravity change on moon?

As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.

How does air effect gravity?

Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.


Does your weight change when there is more gravity?

Yes. Weight is directly proportional to the force of gravity.


Does your weight change depending on the pull of gravity?

Yes. What you weigh depends on the gravity of the planet you are on.
