The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n

Why do asteroids affect the surface of the Earth and the Moon differently?
That has to do with gravity and Earth's atmosphere.
How much surface gravity does the moon have?
The surface gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth the surface gravity of Earth.
What is the gravity on the moon compared to earth's gravity?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
Does moon has a gravity?
Everything with mass has gravity. The foice of gravity on the Moon's surface is about 1/6 of what it is on the Earth's surface.
The Moon's gravity is 6 times ------ than that on the Earth's surface?
The Moon's gravity is 6 times weaker than that on the Earth's surface.
What kind of gravity does Saturn have?
At the surface, it's about the same as the Earth's . You get a bit of variation in the value given, but, at the equator, it's about 1.065 times the Earth's. It is about 0.92 times the Earth's gravity, if you take into account the effect of the planet's rotation.
Why do asteroids affect the surface of the Earth and the Moon differently?

What two types of force are in constant battle on the earth's surface?
I think gravity and rotation, air
How does tide affect gravity on earth's surface?
It does not. Gravity affects tides or more correctly causes them.
Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?
No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.
How does gravity help the earth spin?
Gravity has little if anything to do with the Earth's rotation.
Would gravity exist even if the earth stopped rotating?
Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.
How does gravity affect the earths surface?
It makes things weigh more or less, depending on the surface gravity.
Is the gravity involve in the rotation of earth at its own axis?
No. Earth's gravity is the result of its mass.
How does gravity affect Earth's water?
The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves. The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.
What is a true state meant about gravity?
earth rotation on its axis causes gravity to occur on earth
Is the earths rotatin by gravity?
No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.
