The equatorial surface gravity is 9.780327 m/s2 or 0.99732 g
The Earth's gravity is around 380 ppm (pounds per mile).
The force of gravity on Earth is equal to 9.8m/s2.

∙ 12y agoThe force exerted by the earth's gravity on an object on its surface is approx (9.8) x mass of the object) newtons.
Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and force = mass times acceleration (Newton's Law).
The reason I say approximately is that the earth is not perfectly spherical, meaning the distance you are from its center of mass depends on where on earth you're standing (you weigh slightly less near the equator because you are slightly further from the earth's center).

∙ 13y agoThe gravitational acceleration of the sun on the earth is gs=GMs/r^2 = 2/3E-10x2E30/(150E9)^2 = 5.925E-3 m/s^2. The gravitational force is F= mgs=37E21 Newtons. (Thanks to Yawyaw, who answered a similar question)

∙ 14y agoThe value of gravity varies slightly on earth depending on where you are on the planet, but the general accepted value is 9.8 m/s^2.

∙ 15y ago...Gravity does not weigh anything, it's immaterial; Gravity is the force between two objects drawing them together.

∙ 14y agoAt the exact centre the force of gravity would be zero.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere is no such thing as the "speed of Earth's gravity". If air resistance is negligible, gravity will give objects near the surface an acceleration of about 9.8 meters/second2.

Why does earth have mare gravitational force than the more?
The gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their masses.That means (mass #1) times (mass #2).If Mass-#1 is you, then the gravitational force between you and another object depends on the massof the other object.Since the earth has much more mass than the moon, the gravitational force between you and the earth islarger than the gravitational force between you and the moon.(The force also depends on the distance between the two objects. But you should already begetting the idea, without going into the other details.)
What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?
The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.
The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?
The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.
Which body exerts the weakest gravitational force on the earth?
We keep getting these questions about one body 'exerting' gravitational forceon other bodies, and we have to emphasize again: That's the least helpful wayto think about it.Gravitational force always involves two bodies. The strength of the force dependson the mass of both bodies, the force acts along the line between the centers ofboth bodies, and both bodies feel gravitational forces with the same strength.Whatever force the earth 'exerts' on you that draws you toward it, you exert thesame force on the earth that draws the earth toward you.The weakest pair of gravitational forces is the pair between the earth and thesmallest mass that's farthest away from the earth. So it has to be something likethe smallest piece of dust on a bookshelf on the farthest planet in orbit around thefarthest star on the far side of the farthest galaxy from us.
Do stars have gravitational pull if so how strong is the force of it?
No. The stars are much too far away for the Earth's existence to have any measurable effect on them.
How does the gravitational force exerted by earth on the sun compare with the gravitational force exerted by the sun on the earth?
The gravitational forces on two objects are equal. You attract the earth with a force equal to your weight. Whatever you weigh on earth, that's exactly how much the earth weighs on you.
Why doesnt the sun's gravitational force affect you more than earth's gravitational force does?
Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.

How can uranus have 14 times as much mass as earth yet the gravitational force is less?
The gravitational force is set by the mass but also by how far away you are.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
Why is gravitational force called a mutual force?
"Mutual" means that both objects in question are responsible for the force. The earth is attracted to you just as much as you are attracted to the earth. You mutually attract.
How much is gravitational force on Mars?
The force of gravity on Mars is equal to 3.7m/s2. Mars's force of gravity is therefore 37.8% that of Earth's.
How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?
The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.
What is proportionate force?
Exerting force in a porportional manner, not using too much or too little force.
Why does earth have mare gravitational force than the more?

If the Sun were replaced by a star with twice as much mass what would happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the Sun?
If the sun was replaced by a star with twice as much mass the gravitational force would be unbalanced and the new sun would burn the earth because if the gravitational force cannot hold than the sun would plummet towards the earth and burn it.
Does the sun give out a gravitational force?
Yes. That is why the Earth and other planets orbit around it, due to the Sun's gravitational pull. Yes, it does, but I'm not sure how much.
