-- Your weight is, as long as you're standing on the Earth or some other planet,
but it's different in different places.
-- Also, the speed of the moons, comets, asteroids and planets in their orbits,
and also the length of time it takes them to revolve in their orbits.

Why is gravity called a force?
Because it is a force. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, strong nuclear or color force).Gravity causes mass to accelerate. F = ma. Gravity must therefore be a force.
Do forces relate with gravity If so how do they relate?
Gravity is a force
Why does earth have gravity when earth is in space?
because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
When you sit in a chair it exerts what force against you?
A normal force.
Is gravity rock?
Gravity is a force, not a rock. (the previous answer was erased for rudeness)
What does the force of gravity on an object determine?
When you weigh yourself, the force of gravity is pulling you down to the scale. Therefore weight is determined by gravity.
Is gravity determined by mass or size or both?
Since gravity is basically a force then, it is determined by both mass and size. Also weight.
What is determined by mass and gravity?
force, or as described on Earth, WEIGHT.
What determines gravity pull on a planet?
The force of gravity is determined by the masses of the objects and their distance apart.
What 2 quantities affect of the force due to gravity?
The force of gravity between two objects is determined by -- the masses of the two objects, and -- the distance between their centers of mass.
Who determined the nature of the force that kept planets in their orbits?
Isaac Newton. Strictly speaking, he said gravity was the force, but he didn't explain how it worked. Nowadays, Einstein's ideas are the best explanation we have of what gravity is.
What comes from the mass of the world our mass and the force of gravity?
The force of gravity is what keeps us grounded on Earth and is determined by the mass of the world (Earth) and our own mass. The interaction between these masses results in the force that pulls us towards the Earth's center.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Does pressure vary with dept due to the force of gravity?
Yes, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of water above a given depth. Weight is caused/determined by gravity.
What determines the value of gravity mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Gravity is determined by the mass of two objects and the distance between them. Weight is the resulting force.
Is gravity a force or mass?
Gravity is a force.
What is the force of gravity on Mercy?
what is the force of gravity on mecury
