The word is "angstrom," not "anstrom."
An angstrom is a unit of length - a very, very small unit.
One angstrom is ten to the minus ten meters, which is one ten-billionth of a meter.
Angstrom units are often used in measurements such as the wavelengths of various kinds of light, from say infrared to ultraviolet.

What is the measure of the force of gravity acting upon an object?

The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its
surface is what we
call the object's "weight".
What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts
the Earth toward it
with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on
Earth, it's
the same as the Earth's weight on you.
