It isn't so great; even a scrawny weakling like myself can leap three feet into the air using only the muscles of my legs, and with a flimsy fiberglas pole I can get ten feet in the air from a running start. Earth's gravity is barely enough to keep our atmosphere.
Gravity depends on MASS. The more mass, the more gravity. But the pull of gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so once we get away from the surface, gravity decreases rapidly.

Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?
No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull
How is the moon held in its orbit round the earth?
from the earth's strong gravitational pull, when something is so large it has a gravitational pull other objects are able to orbit it
Why gravitational force of son didn't pull earth towards it?
Because Earth and all the other planets and moons have a gravitational pull. This pull is distributed so that everthing stays in orbit.
Why do things move towards the Earth but not toward people?
Because the gravitational pull of the Earth is much larger than the gravitational pull of lets say... a human. You could argue that on earth there is a gravitational pull to humans, but the Earth is over powering that pull. So the object is pulled down (to the surface of the Earth) rather than to you or me.
If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?
well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer . Mercury gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Venus gravitational pull is 8.8 so its 8.8kg Earth gravitational pull is 9.8 so its 9.8kg Mars gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Jupiter gravitational pull is 23.2 so its 23.2kg Saturn gravitational pull is 9.0 so its 9kg Uranus gravitational pull is 8.7 so its 8.7kg Neptune gravitational pull is 11.1 so its 11.1kg Pluto gravitational pull is 0.6 600g
How does the full moon effect the earth?
tide lines. gravitational pull raises the water so the waves r great for boggie boarding
How come the satellites don't come crashing to the earth because of its gravitational pull?
Because they have so much inertia that they continue to fall but miss the Earth due to their great speed.
Why doesn't the center of the Earth burn the rest of the Earth?
there is a gravitational pull in the core so it doesn't burn it.
What is the gravitational pull of the Uranus?
it is the same as earth's 9.8 m/seconds squared
How does astronauts go into space when there is gravity?
The massive speed and acceleration of the spaceship is so great, that they are able to escape Earth's gravitational pull. Then at around the correct altitute, they can orbit the Earth safely.
Why is the moon so low during a blood moon?
its the angle of the earth, and the gravitational pull.
How does gravity effect earths motion?
All of the earth's motion is completely determined by gravity: the gravitational pull on the earth by the sun (and the larger outer planets), the gravitational pull of the Milky Way galaxy on the sun, the gravitational pull of our local cluster on the Milky Way galaxy and so on, up the ladder.
