It has had the convenient effect of keeping most people on the Earth as they go
about their daily activities, as well as the Earth's atmosphere. This has had all sorts
of fortunate consequences and convenient results, such as the ability to walk, drive,
and breathe. These effects have made it a lot easier for mankind and also its women
to evolve, survive, and thrive as a species, and also to enjoy his leisure time with
activities such as fishing, Baseball, Track and Field, NASCAR, and Bowling, none of
which would be easy without gravity.
Also, the help we get from gravity as we strive to maintain proper nutritional balance
can not be ignored. Have you ever had the experience where you are not feeling quite
up to snuff, then you tentatively have a snack, and you're forced to remark that you are
"... having trouble keeping this down ..." ? It should take only a moment's reflection to
realize how dire indeed would be our straits in those situations were we without gravity.

Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
How are objects around you affected by mass of earth?
The objects around you and me are affected by the mass of earth by gravity
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
What kind of balance is affected by the local force of gravity?
spring balance
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
Which type of measurement is affected by gravity?
The measurement of weight is affected by gravity.
What types of erosion are affected by gravity?
Wind and water erosion are affected by gravity.
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
Is length affected by gravity?
No, only weight is affected by gravity: attraction, force, acceleration.
How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
How would man kind be affected if the water cycle ceased?
water cycle
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
Is there an object affected by only gravity?
Yes, there is an object affected by only gravity. Stars and other floating space debris are only affected by gravity in space, as long as the objects do not touch each other.
How is gravity affected by the mass of an object?
Though weight is effected by gravity, mass is not affected by gravity.Actually mass is affected by gravity. Although the amount of mass is not affected by gravity, mass itself is.
