What is stronger earth gravity or your gravity?

Gravity is a partnership. The 'strength' of gravity depends on both of the objectsinvolved. Between any two masses, there is a pair of equal, opposite forces. The forceof gravity pulling you toward the Earth (your "weight") is exactly equal to the force ofgravity pulling the Earth toward you. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, then the Earthweighs 150 pounds on you.
