Gravity is dependent on the mass of the bodies, and the pull (force) can be written as
F = G *(m1 * m2 )/(r*r)
where 'G' is newtons coeff. for gravity, 'm1' and 'm2' are the masses of the bodies and 'r' is the distance between the objects.
From this it can actually be seen that it has no size, it is infinite, with decreasing magnitude as you go away from the body.
When measured on Earth, it is the property of weight.

Gravitational force is a force between two objects, given by this formula:
Fg = G M1 M2 / r2
Fg = the gravitational force. r = the straight line distance between the centers of the two objects. M1 and M2 = the masses of the two objects, respectively. G = the gravitational constant.
it would be the weight. mass is how much of an object there is, but weight is measured by gravitational pull. If you measure mass on the moon it'd be the same as on earth, but if you measured weight there, it would be much different.
Mass/Weight?
mass & distance.

No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.
No. The mass of any object is considered to be an intrinsic constant property, i.e. it's a characteristic of the object and it doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what happens to it. The weight of the object may change, because that's just the force of gravity caused by whatever large body the object happens to be near, like the earth or moon.
Gravitation is the only force that acts universally.
The weight of a spaceship does not change as it leaves the earth, but it does change as it moves from one location to another within the gravitational field of a celestial body such as the earth. The weight of an object is a measure of the force of gravity on that object. It is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of an object, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter it contains and is a constant property of the object. So, while the weight of a spaceship may change as it moves within the gravitational field of a celestial body, its mass remains constant.
Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.
No. Mass is a property of the object and doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what's happening to it. The force of gravity on the object is its "weight" and that can change. It depends on, for example, what planet the object is on.
That's the object's 'weight'.
The object's weight depends on the local gravitational environment.The object's mass is constant in any environment.
gravity can change the motion of an object because of magic
No. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and doesn't change, regardless of the environment into which the object is placed. The weight of an object, however will change depending on the gravity acting upon it.
Its weight
The property of matter that is not affected by gravity is mass. An object has the same mass regardless of the force of gravity, however it's weight can vary. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object.
Mass of an object influences the force of gravity on it.
Yes. As acceleration due to gravity increases so does the object's weight. The reverse is true when gravity decreases. Mass, however, does NOT change with gravity.
Everything in the universe, which has mass, is the source of gravity. Mass is the fundamental property of every object in this universe and it is due to this property that every object attracts other objects. So, earth is also a source of gravity.
An object's size is a physical property of the object.
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
