Gravity is reduced by the inverse of the square of the distance between the two bodies. Double the distance reduce the gravity by one quarter.

Amount of gravity is a result of what?
Gravity is a result of mass. Objects with twice the mass will have twice the gravity, assuming you are the same distance away.
What does it mean to displace gravity?
To "displace" something means to push it away. Presumably somebody was thinking about pushing the force of gravity away from a certain area, thus canceling gravity. It doesn't seem likely that this is possible at all.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
Are there gravity in India?
Of course, there is gravity everywhere on Earth otherwise, you would float away. If you drop something, does it not fall.
What is a plant's response to gravity called?
A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism or geotropism.
What happends when you get stung by a scorpion?
You might die if you don't get emergency help right away.
What effect does distance have on gravity?
Gravity is governed by an "inverse square" relationship. This means gravity gets exponentially weaker the farther away you get. If I am 4 miles away from the center of the Earth, I will experience 1/16th the gravity that someone 1 mile away will experience. I am 4x farther away, but I get 16x less gravity.
What happends if your in zero gravity?
You explode. Because the pressure inside the body is much greater than outside the body, the body expands until it explodes outwards.
Is gravity what makes asteroids and comets move?
the gravity stops them from floating away
Is Venus's gravity stronger than earth's gravity?
yes it is further away from the gravity pull so yes
What happens to the pull of gravity the farther away you are from earths surface?
The Gravity becomes less
Is there gravity on other galaxies?
In other you mean, and yes. There is gravity every nano meter of the whole universe, nothing is away from gravity, gravity is everywhere.
What is gravity and how does it affect earth?
gravity is the force that keeps objects on the earth, if we didn't have gravity we would just float away
What keeps us from floating away?
gravity
Amount of gravity is a result of what?
Gravity is a result of mass. Objects with twice the mass will have twice the gravity, assuming you are the same distance away.
Is there anywhere on earth without gravity?
Gravity is everywhere in the universe. There's no getting away from it, anywhere.
Why is there no gravity or air in space?
These two are tied together. There is nowhere in the universe in which there are no gravity since the range of gravity is infinite. But Gravity gets weaker as get farther away, and therefore if you move far away enough, it would feel like there is no gravity. The reason why there is no air in space is that gravity attracts air, and without any gravity, all the atoms will either just slowly move around or just create their own gravity.
