The amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth?

Yes, that's right.
Except instead of calling it "the amount of gravity", it should really be "the force of gravity".
In both cases, the force is 9.8 newtons, which is about the same as 2.2 pounds.

∙ 13y agoYes. The strength of the mutual gravitational force between the earth and
every kilogram of mass on it is the same.
To put it another way for emphasis: A gram of cheese, a gram of bricks, and a gram
of feathers all have the same weight when they're on the same planet.

∙ 10y agoOne kilogram of any substance is the same mass as one kilogram of any other substance, so their mass and weight will be the same, but one kilogram of marshmallows and earth will have a larger volume (and therefore lower mass density) than one kilogram of lead and earth.

∙ 13y agogravitational force between 1kg lead and the earth is 9.77N,
as long as the lead is reasonably near the earth's surface.

Earths magnetic field is not the cause of gravity?
No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces.

What happens to the amount of gravity when the masses get bigger or smaller?
The force of gravity is stronger between larger masses, and weaker between smaller masses. That's why there's more force between you and the Earth than there is between you and a bowling ball, for example.
Is weight a measure of earth's pull of gravity?
Weight is what we call the amount of the gravitational force between the Earth and an object on the surface of the Earth. It works both ways. Your weight on the Earth is also the Earth's weight on you.
Why is the force of gravity between you and earth greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
Earth has much more mass than a car does. Therefore Earth has much stronger gravity.
What is residual gravity?
Residual gravity is the effective gravity that exists between the earth-moon or the earth-sun combination. When two heavenly bodies interact such as the earth and the sun there is a difference in mass which causes a residual gravity to exist in the space between them. This residual gravity is responsible for the earth's orbit.
How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?
Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.

What is the amount of gravity of the moon?
The gravity of the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.

The force of gravity is stronger between larger masses, and weaker between smaller masses. That's why there's more force between you and the Earth than there is between you and a bowling ball, for example.
Why does the weight of an object decrease with increase in distance from the centre of the earth?
Because Earth's gravity is becoming less and less with the larger amount of distance between it and the object.

What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
Why is earth the only planet with gravity?
It's not it just has a unique amount of gravity. Even the moon has some gravity.
What is residual gravity?
Residual gravity is the effective gravity that exists between the earth-moon or the earth-sun combination. When two heavenly bodies interact such as the earth and the sun there is a difference in mass which causes a residual gravity to exist in the space between them. This residual gravity is responsible for the earth's orbit.
