Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.
The downward force exerted on an object is caused by gravity (from the Earth). This force is called weight and can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (about 9.8).
If you define the "up" direction as "positive", then the acceleration is negative, because it is downward. If you define "down" as positive, then acceleration is negative. You can use any convention; just be sure to be consistent within a particular calculation, to avoid errors.

At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.

Acceleration due to gravity is negative when an object is moving up. Accl'n due to gravity is positive when an object is moving down (since gravity acts downwards on an object). ^Acceleration due to gravity is always negative, while the acceleration of the ball upward was positive due to what threw it, not gravity.
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 meters per second. Since Force = Mass x Acceleration, the force of gravity would be the mass times 9.81.
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
If you mean acceleration due to gravity it is ~9.8m/s2
