What effect does distance have on gravity?
Gravity is governed by an "inverse square" relationship. This means gravity gets exponentially weaker the farther away you get. If I am 4 miles away from the center of the Earth, I will experience 1/16th the gravity that someone 1 mile away will experience. I am 4x farther away, but I get 16x less gravity.
Is there anywhere on earth without gravity?
Gravity is everywhere in the universe. There's no getting away from it, anywhere.
What force pulls an object away from the center?
gravity...
Why is there no gravity or air in space?
These two are tied together. There is nowhere in the universe in which there are no gravity since the range of gravity is infinite. But Gravity gets weaker as get farther away, and therefore if you move far away enough, it would feel like there is no gravity. The reason why there is no air in space is that gravity attracts air, and without any gravity, all the atoms will either just slowly move around or just create their own gravity.
Why is gravity important for satellites?
"Gravity" is the cause of orbital motion. No gravity . . . no orbits, and things just sail away in straight lines. Without gravity, there's no such thing as a satellite of anything.

Is gravity what makes asteroids and comets move?
the gravity stops them from floating away
Is Venus's gravity stronger than earth's gravity?
yes it is further away from the gravity pull so yes
What happens to the pull of gravity the farther away you are from earths surface?
The Gravity becomes less
What keeps us from floating away?
gravity

Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?
As you move away from the Earth by distance squared, the force of gravity (weight) decreases. This is because gravity follows an inverse square law, where the force of gravity weakens as the distance between two objects increases.
What stops our planet's atmosphere from flying away?
Gravity.
What does gravity prevents earth from?
flying away from the sun.

What happens to the acceleration due to gravity as you move farther away from the center of the earth?
The acceleration due to gravity decreases as you move farther away from the center of the Earth. This is because gravity weakens with distance according to the inverse-square law.
