The Earth's gravity pulling on an object (i.e. its weight) is a force measured in Newtons.
A Newton is the force that will increase the speed of a 1 kg mass by 1 m/s each second. It is the dynamical unit of force, so called because it can be put into Newton's 2nd law, force = mass times acceleration, without any extra constants.
A 1 kg mass dropped out of a window increases its speed by 9.81 m/s each second, so the weight of a 1 kg mass is the mass times the acceleration, 9.81 Newtons.
The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.
Less than one tenth (1/10) of the earths gravitational pull.
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.
it is the same as earth's 9.8 m/seconds squared
It's about 0.028g, or 2.8% of earths surface gravitational pull of 1g

When you get out of earths gravitational pull, you aren't rotating around it like the moon. You are free to float into space.
Less than one tenth (1/10) of the earths gravitational pull.
Weight The unit of measurement for gravitational pull is the newton.
it is 10N/Kg

the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
