Force of Gravity is the force with which the earth attracts bodies towards its center. It makes it possible for the bodies (mass) to stay firm on the surface of the earth. When we throw something upwards, it comes down as a result of the force of gravity.

What is the difference between force of gravity and gravity?

By Gravity we mean the energy of Gravity E= - mGM/r = -mu/r. Force is the first derivative of energy so the force of Gravity is dE/dr = mu/r^2. Force is the first derivative for all kinds of energy.

What does gravity mean in space?

"Gravity" is a force between any two objects. This specific force depends on the masses (more mass --> more force), and on the distance between the objects (more distance --> less force).


What is the derived unit for gravity?

If you mean the gravitatioal field - other options are possible - units of acceleration are used for that. The force of gravity, of course, is expressed in units of force.
