A bathroom scale performs that function very well.
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
I assume you mean "between Earth and other objects". That is called the WEIGHT of the objects.
The force of gravity is mutual between every pair of masses. The strength of the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and it's equal in both directions. The 'pull' toward the earth that you feel is the force of gravity between the earth's mass and your mass. The strength of the pull is proportional to the product of your mass and the earth's mass, and the earth feels the same pull toward you.
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
That's the quantity referred to as the object's "weight".
Weight is what we call the amount of the gravitational force between the Earth and an object on the surface of the Earth. It works both ways. Your weight on the Earth is also the Earth's weight on you.
The scale measures the amount of gravitational pull on your body from the earth, or what is known as weight.
to measure the pull of gravity,the mass of the body is multiplied by 9.8 newton approximately ,this gives the force by which the body is pulled by gravity . for example : if a body mass is of 6 kg,then the gravitational pull is 58.8 newtons.
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
I think that's gravity. Gravity is the pull of a celestial body on other things.
Gravity always acts both ways at the same time, pulling two objects together. The strengthof the pull depends on the masses of both objects, and the distance between them. A goodway to measure its force is to let the objects get close to each other, to where they're almostbut not quite touching, and then slip something in between them that can measure the strengthof the squeeze.I'll give you an example of how that works:The Earth and you are attracted toward each other by gravity, and let's say you want to measurethe gravitational force drawing you and the Earth together. So you slip something in betweenyour feet and the Earth that can measure the force.A bathroom scale is a good choice. Put it in between you and the Earth, and it displays the forceof attraction, as gravity squeezes it between the Earth and you. You can read the number rightfrom the display on the scale. We normally call that number your "weight" on the Earth, andit's also the Earth's weight on you.
1. The earth has greater mass 2. the earth is closer to the sun

Earth's tides are caused by the interaction of:the gravitational pull of the moonthe gravitational pull of the sunthe rotation of the Earth
yes, earths gravitational pull is strong enough to pull the moon into orbit around it.
