Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
Why there will be a point between the earth and the moon at which the gravitational field strength will be zero?
There is a point where the gravitational field strength of both planet or object is equal, hence they cancel off each other, resulting in zero net gravitational field strength.
What produces the earths gravity?
Earth's gravity is caused by its mass (or rather its energy). Everything that has mass will passively generate a gravitational field, even you and me! (Although we are not by far massive enough for the gravitational attraction between us to be noticeable.) It is not caused by the Earth's magnetic field, or the Earth rotation (in fact the rotation counteracts gravity in some places).
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
What is the Importance of the earth gravitational field?
The Earth's gravitational field is important primarily because it keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun, which sustains life. Without gravity, life would cease to exist.
Which is stronger the gravity on earth or the moon?
The gravitational field strength (how strong gravity is) on the Earth is 6 times stronger than on the moon.
Venus gravitational field strength?
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface Venus is 8.9m/s2 That's about 90% of Earth's.
What is Pluto's gravity exactly?
Pluto's gravitational field strength is about 6.7% of the Earth's.
What is venues gravitational field strength?
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface Venus is 8.9m/s2 That's about 90% of Earth's.
What is the gravitational field strength on Uranus?
Uranus being extremely massive compared to Earth surprisingly has less gravity than Earth. The low density of Uranus makes Uranus have low gravity. If someone were to stand on Uranus, they would experience 89% of the gravity on Earth.
Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
What is magnetic field strength?
Earth's magnetic field strength at the equator is about 30 microtesla.
What is the field strength at a distance one Earth radius beyond the surface?
I assume you mean, of the gravitational field? The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At a distance of 1 Earth radius, the distance from the center of the Earth is twice the distance at the Earth's surface; thus, the field strength is 1/4 what it is on the surface. If at the surface the field strength is about 9.8 meters per second square, divide that by 4 to get the field strength at a distance of one Earth radius from the surface.I assume you mean, of the gravitational field?

How does the force of gravity between the sun and the earth move in an orbit?
The gravity field is best considered as a static field, with the force depending only on the distance and the mass of the two objects. Although the Earth moves in the gravity field, the field itself does not.
If you're on Mars will you be squashed by the gravity?
No. The strength of gravity on Mars is less than half of that on Earth.
Mercury's gravitational field strength?
Mercury's surface gravitational field strength is 0.38 times the Earth's.
What is gravity and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter a body has. Gravity is a pulling force that pulls the object towards the core of the body. The weight of a body depends on the mass; gravity causes weight. Weight is a downwards force towards the core of the body that produces a gravitational field (e.g. Earth). The relation between the mass, the weight and the gravitational field strength is: W = m.g - where W is the weight of the object, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational field strength of the body (it is roughly about 10N/kg on Earth)
