Each time you double your distance from the center of the earth, the acceleration
of gravity, and its force on you (your weight) decrease by 75%.

What of the changes below would increase the force of Earth's gravity on an object?
The only way to change anythings gravity is to change its' mass. (apex) Increase the mass of the object Decrease the distance of the object from Earth
How does the sun hold Earth in orbit?
By gravity. If you want to know a detailed way, type gravity in Wikipedia.
A spaceship is traveling to the Moon. At what point is it beyond the pull of Earth's gravity?
The effects of Earth's mass will extend, most likely, to the extremes of the Universe. Detecting that mass much further out than the orbit of Saturn will either require very extensive instrumentation, a greate deal of time, or both.
The pull of gravity on the moon is 0.17 times on earth's on which planet would you weigh less?
Your question is very unclear, but the gravity of the Moon is 1/6 the amount of Earth's gravity. So, you would way 1/6 the amount on the Moon. You would way less on the Moon.
Why does earth's gravity attracts every object on earth?
It's not only earth. Every dot of mass in the universe attracts every other dot of mass. The reason is: Because that's the way gravity works.
Why does the earth orbit the sun?
Moon and earth distance
If a ball is thrown in space and on earth which ball will travel the greatest distance?
Naturally the ball in space will travel the longest distance as long as it does not bump into something along the way. Gravity on earth will cause the ball thrown to fall back to earth.
What of the changes below would increase the force of Earth's gravity on an object?
The only way to change anythings gravity is to change its' mass. (apex) Increase the mass of the object Decrease the distance of the object from Earth
Can a person in earth be squashed be extreme gravity?
No. Earth has the gravity it has. There's no way of boosting it or concentrating it.
How can you less gravity from earth?
The only way is to move farther away from Earth.
Distance between earth and edge of milky way?
The distance of the earth to the edge of the Milky way is 1000 light years
How do astronaut's move on the moon compered with the earth?
There is less gravity on the moon than earth. Earth has a lot of gravity which is why things feel heavy and fall as quick as they do. The moon has way, way less gravity therefore it feels like you are weightless and drift a little.
What way does the nervous system function as the communication system of the body?
because the earth gravity of the gravity
How come only earth has gravity?
Earth is not the only object with gravity by any means. All objects with mass exert gravity, depending on their size. Other planets, moons and stars have gravity. We only really notice Earth's gravity, though, because, apart from a handful of astronauts, we never stray far enough from Earth to be affected by any other object's gravity.The key point is that gravity is greatly reduced by distance. In fact, gravity decreases as the square (value times itself) of the distance. The Moon, relatively close astronomically, causes the ocean tides because as the Earth turns, its gravity exerts a slight pull on the water on Earth that is closest to it. We don't feel any pull at all from the Sun, 93 million miles away, but it is strong enough to keep the Earth and the other planets in their orbits. The Sun is kept in the Milky Way galaxy by the combined pull of millions of stars and the massive center of the galaxy.At some point between the Earth and the Moon (closer to the Moon), the Moon exerts a gravitational force as great as the Earth's on any object, so an object orbiting there would not fall toward either body. These are called the Lagrangian points or L points. There are Earth observation satellites placed near these points, which are farther away than the geostationary orbits closer to Earth.
How does a satellite orbit earth?
Same way Luna (the moon) orbits Earth; gravity.
How does water say on the Earth?
Um, the same way we do.....gravity
What is the distance from earth to the milky way galaxy?
Zero. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
