gravity.
What force pulls rock and soil down slope?
gravity is the force
Gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled toward the earth by?
the force of gravity.
Can earths gravity increase or decrease explain?
Yes, it is not a constant. The force of gravity is related to the distance from the centre of the earth so that the force of gravity will be slightly reduced at altitudes. Also, the earth is not a perfect sphere - it bulges at the equator and is flatter at the poles. So the force of gravity will be greater at the poles. The force of gravity is also affected by what is under the surface: if standing over dense rocks, the force will be greater. Finally, the force of gravity is also higher after heavy rainfall. [I guess that is because the water fills up all the air gaps in the soil and so increases its density.]

What is the force that acts against gravity?
The force that acts against gravity is the buoyant force.
What is the minimum force to go against gravity?
Any force, however small, can go against gravity.
What is the force that acts against the force of buoyancy?
gravity
What is the upward force that works against gravity?
Any upward force works against gravity,since they act in opposite directions.
