Gravity is the force all objects exert on all other objects. For example, the earth's mass exerts force on your mass and attracts you to earth while your mass attracts the earth (slightly) to you. Even though gravity is an interaction between mass, it doesn't actually affect mass. Your mass on the moon, which has less gravitational pull that the earth, is no different that your mass on Jupiter, which has more gravitational pull than the earth. What changes is your weight, which is equal to your mass multiplied by the gravitational pull you are experiencing.

How does inertia affect gravity?

Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.


How does changing mass affect the force of gravity?

Force of gravity = mass x acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2) Increase in mass = increase in gravity
