It is a linear force towards two centers of gravity: you and the earth. While the earth exerts a strong gravitational pull on you, you exert a gravitational force upon the earth, although it a much lesser force since you have far less mass than the earth. To go even further, the magnitude of the sum of forces would be 9.81m/s2 plus your body's gravitational acceleration, whatever that number may be. So let's say that the gravitational force that you exert is 0.001 m/s2, then the total magnitude would be 9.82m/s2. This was answered with credible source

∙ 14y agoThe earth's gravitational force is acting in every direction, as are the gravitational forces of all masses in the unvierse. It acts over all distances in the universe, but because most things are so far away (and the gravitational constant so small), it is mostly too small to notice.
It always points toward the center of the earth. That is why things anywhere on the surface of the earth fall "downward." In fact, by definition, "down" is the direction that things fall in. Therefore, something falling "down" on one side of the equator is actually falling the opposite direction than something falling "down" on the opposite side of the equator, if you look at the earth from a space ship-type frame, but they're falling with the gravitational force so they are still both falling "down" on earth.

Did Gravitational force Act in Vacuum If yes Which law explains it?
Gravitation acts everywhere including a vacuum, which is what outer space is. The attraction between two bodies of masses M1 and M2, a distance L apart, is proportional to (M1 x M2)/L2. This is Newton's Law Of Gravitation
Does the centripetal force act as an unbalanced force on the satellite in orbit?
Yes. According to Newton's Second Law, there has to be an unbalanced force - otherwise, the satellite won't accelerate (in this case, change direction).
How is a spacecraft launched?
There are about four forces that act on a lifting off spacecraft . The four forces are the thrust force, the weight of the spacecraft, the drag and the lift force.
Which direction is gravity pointing?
The forces due to gravity act along the line between the centers of two masses. That means that the Earth is attracted toward your center of mass, and you are attracted toward the center of the Earth, both with equal force. We typically refer to that direction as "down".
How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?
Centripetal force makes a satellite orbit a body.
When body is thrown in upward direction then what will happen about kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy will be decrease because when the body thrown in upward direction the gravitation force will be act in opposite direction which reduce the velocity.so the velocity will decrease.
What kinds of forces can act on an object?
Normal force can act on an object
What is linear force?
Force(s) that act in the same direction
Forces that act at a distance?
Those include electrical forces, magnetic forces, and gravitation.
How do you find the net force when two forces act the same direction?
If many forces act in the same direction on an object, then the net force is their sum.
How the condition for two force system to be equivalent?
That depends on the direction of the forces. If the two forces act in the same direction, the resultant force will be doubled and if the two forces act in the oppsite direction, the resultant force will be null or zero.
What direction did the applied pulling force act?
Up
What direction does a centripetal force act?
radially inward
What is meaning of gravitation?
The act of gravitating., That species of attraction or force by which all bodies or particles of matter in the universe tend toward each other; called also attraction of gravitation, universal gravitation, and universal gravity. See Attraction, and Weight.
How does a fixed pulley act as machine?
It changes the direction of the input force only
What direction does the force of friction act when a body slides?
In the direction opposite to that of the sliding body.
How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?
forces in the same direction can be added to give us the resultant force and opposite force will subtracted to get resultant force
