It is your weight, which manifests as a downward force exerted by your body, although it is also an acceleration to a greater force if you fall.

What name is given to the force caused by the pull of gravity?
its is just called Force= F
What name is given to the force acting on a unit area of an object?
newton
What name is given to the force acting on unit area of an object?
newton
What is the force of gracity that acts between all objects in the universe?
Our scientists have given it the name "force of gravity".
Is Gravity is example of a centripetal force?
It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
What is the name of the force acting on a man who is descending with a parachute?
"Gravity" is.

What is the name given to the attractive force experienced by all matter?
The name given to the attractive force experienced by all matter is gravity. Gravity is caused by the core of the earth and keeps everything from floating away.
Name the 2 forces acting on a launching pad immediately after leaving a rocket?
force due to gravity acts vertically down wards and force of push acting upward

What is another name for the force of gravity on your body?
Weight is the force of gravity on your body.
How does grvity work?
Gravity is the name given to the force which atracts every thing on a planet surface down towards the planet
What is the name given to the force of gravity acting on you?
It's gravity, pure and simple. That's the scientific term, or the physics or astrophysics term. Gravity is a force all matter has. That is, anything that has mass has gravity. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, the others being the electromagnetic force, and the strong interaction (strong force) and weak interaction (weak force). We continue to see a lot of questions about what gravity is and how it works, and we simply don't have a lot of "good" answers. Gravity is the force exerted by an object on any other object because of the mass of the objects. Each of us has gravity, but we don't notice it pulling us toward each other. Our cars, which have more mass than us, don't pull us toward them that we can feel. But all things with mass pull on all others. It's just that on the scale in which we experience things, we don't notice it. Hit the link below to the related question. You may be asking about the effect of gravity acting on you, and not the force. As explained above, the force is simply gravity. The effect is called weight. Weight is fully dependent on gravity (putting accelerated motion aside for the moment), so your weight will be different depending on where you are.
What is the name of the downwards force?
Gravity
