Where are the zero gravity place on the surface of the earth?
For any object that has mass, there is no place on the surface of the Earth where the gravitational force on the object is zero.
How does gravitational force affect your mass?
Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.
What keeps the planets and sun in orbit?
The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is : The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.
Why is the earth's gravitational force different from one place to another?
Because gravity depends not only on the mass, the volume, the density and the speed of rotation of the planet but also on local specificities such as presence of water, of mountains etc. The earth's mantle is not homogeneous so the effects of gravity differs from a region to another.
The force of gravity causes all object near earth surface to fall with an acceleration of twenty?
The force of gravity causes all objects near the earth's surface to fall with exactly 9.80665 m/s2 (approx. 32.174 ft/s2). The statement in the question is accurate except for the actual magnitude of the earth's gravitational constant. The earth's gravitational constant g (or go or gn) is 9.80665 meters per second squared per international agreement. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article with the figure stated along with particulars and other related links.
Is there any place on the earth where there is not gravitational force?
The center of the Earth.
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
Is there any place on the earth where gravitational force is maximum?
The closer to the core of the earth an object gets, the higher the gravitational pull.
Where are the zero gravity place on the surface of the earth?
For any object that has mass, there is no place on the surface of the Earth where the gravitational force on the object is zero.
Why the force of gravity is not exactly the same everywhere on earth's surface?
The earth is not perfect sphere therefore the radius differs from place to place and from Newton Gravitational law force is directly proportional to radius
What what happened to the magnitude of gravitational force between the Sun and Earth if earth was place in Pluto's orbit?
it would be less than what it was before

What causes the earth to stay in place?
The Earth is moving but the sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in place.
Materials move from a higher place to a lower place because of?
Gravitational Force
Type of force that keeps the planets in place?
That force is called gravity.
What force interacts when a bowling ball is picked up?
Gravitational force pulling the ball towards the center of the Earth, the normal force between your hands and the ball, and the force exerted on the ball to raise it against gravity; this is called gravitational potential force, which can be calculated to be the mass of the ball multiplied 9.8m/s2 and the height it is raised from it's initial place.
