What would happen if the earth did not have the force of gravity?

If the force of gravity of Earth were to drop to zero, to put it in simple terms:
Firstly, the whole atmosphere would leave Earth. Meaning all living things would most probably die as many of us can't live without air.
Secondly, the moon would most probably float off to space. Without Earth's gravity, it is highly possibly we would never see the moon again. Either that, or the moon's gravity on its own could hold and it would merely be further away from Earth than usual.
Thirdly, those not clutching onto something would definitely float off to space as well. People who wants to be lighter would be happier however, as without gravity, everyone's weight is reduced to zero kg, zero grams, zero pounds, etc.

What happen if the earth gravity force was less or more?
If gravity increased you would lift up and float in the sky.If gravity decreased you would be pulled to the ground even more than you are now
What would happen to earth if the sun's gravity suddenly stopped acting on it?
Gravity is an inherent property of matter; it is unrelated to the Earth's rotation. You may be asking if the centripetal force of the Earth's rotation is significantly counteracting the Earth's gravity. The answer is, "No." If the Earth were not rotating, your apparent weight would be no more than about 5% more than it is. If the Earth stopped in it's orbit, then we would probably crash into the sun. This would happen because there is gravity and centrifugal force keeping the Earth in orbit. If the centrifugal force stopped, but gravity kept going then we would keep going until we hit something. Just like in space, If something is pushed by a greater force, it keeps going until something bigger stops it. This is Newtons first law of motion.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
What would happen if the force of gravity were to disappear suddenly?
Yes, but we would die first because gravity holds down air (oxygen and nitrogen and other stuff) and if the gravity leaves, then there's no air to breathe. No need to worry. Gravity isn't going anywhere any time soon.
What is plutos gravity like compared to earth?
Pluto's gravity is about 6% that of the Earth. A person weighing 100 lbs on the Earth would weigh 6 lbs on Pluto.
What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.
What happen if the moon would be replaced for an object who has the mass of Jupiter?
Earth would be destroy due to the gravity force of that planet.
What happen if the earth gravity force was less or more?
If gravity increased you would lift up and float in the sky.If gravity decreased you would be pulled to the ground even more than you are now
What would happen if only gravity were operating on earth Would this path take earth closer to the sun?
This may shock you: Gravity IS the only force operating on the Earth,and THAT's exactly what keeps it in its present orbit around the sun.
What would happen to your weight if the force of gravity on earth suddenly grew stronger?
People will learn to adapt to the gravity creating a race of stronger human beings.
What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
If the earth had no gravity it follows that gravity would be absent from any mass. In the absence of gravity life would not exist.
What would happen to the Earth if the force of gravity suddenly did not exist?
well thats easy, it would fly away from the sun in a straight line.
A satellite orbits the Earth. Which changes would decrease the force of Earth's gravity on the satellite?
its gravity

What is gravity and how does it affect earth?
gravity is the force that keeps objects on the earth, if we didn't have gravity we would just float away
What would happen to earth if gravity fails?
It will never happen because the earth's gravity is caused by it's mass and it's density.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
