Best Answer

magnitude - 9.8 m/s2

direction - towards the center of the earth

On or near the surface of the Earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 ,

nominally toward the center of the Earth.

On or near other planets, the number is different, and the direction is nominally

toward the center of that planet.
