It's actually quite weak. All of the matter of the Earth has gravity that pulls on us and yet we can stand up and move. Gravity is a heavily diluted force of nature that if it could be focused in some way is considered a possible propulsion system of the future. It would be possible to travel close to the speed of light if we could harness the type of gravity emitted from a black hole.

what effects how strong earths gravity is?

The Earth's mass, and how far you are from the center of the Earth.


What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.

After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?

There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.


Why a falling falling object subjected to earth's gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

A: because earths gravity cannot be harnessed forever unless the earth is moving with you. B: because earths gravity is not strong enough to pull you along unless you are in space as friction from air resistance will stop you.
