Can gravity on earth change

Yes, definitely. If a substantial piece of the Earth were to break off and sail away,
then the force of gravity on the surface of the remaining piece would be substantially
less than it is now.

As long as the Earth's mass doesn't change substantially, however, the acceleration
of gravity on or near its surface, and therefore the weight of things located in that
neighborhood, doesn't change.

no =)


If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?

Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.


What can cause the earth to reshape?

Change of gravity pull


How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?

Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.


What does gravity Change on the body when you leave Earth?

Because gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and the strength of the force depends on the distance between them. If the Earth is one of the objects and the other one leaves the Earth, then the force of gravity it feels is certainly going to change.


Will gravity ever change so it longer holds us?

No gravity cannot change so that it no longer pulls us towards the earth because it is a property of the earth itself. The force of gravity exists between any two masses, even two people, but is much more profound between the earth and us due to the extremely large mass of the earth. Unless the mass of the earth changes, the force of gravity cannot change.


Why does the weight of an object change when you go the moon?

It is because the gravity on the moon is one sixth of the gravity on the Earth


Does gravity change as we move away from the earth?

No. Gravity always behaves according to the same formula, introduced by Newton.But the gravitational forces between you and the Earth certainly change when thedistance between you and the Earth's center changes significantly.


What day of the year does the earth have the least gravity?

As long as the Earth's mass doesn't change, neither does its gravity, regardless of what day it is.


What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?

The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".


What are the potential consequences of a reversal in the Earth's gravity from positive to negative earth gravity?

A reversal in Earth's gravity from positive to negative could have catastrophic consequences. It could lead to mass destruction of infrastructure, loss of life, and disruption of ecosystems. The change in gravity would affect everything on Earth, causing chaos and instability.


Could the earth ever loose its gravity?

No, the Earth's gravity is a fundamental force that arises from its mass. Gravity is what keeps everything on the Earth's surface and holds the atmosphere in place. It would require a significant change in the Earth's mass or a cataclysmic event to alter or eliminate its gravitational pull.
