There are slight changes such as the poles have a stronger pull than the equator.

Also at higher altitudes the gravity is weaker.

Its all because at higher altitudes you're farther from the center of the earth and due to the slight disc shape of the Earth due to rotation the poles are closer to the center.

Gravity is inversely proportional to (distance from center)^2

Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?

Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.


Where is there no gravity other than the moon?

There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.


What area marks the boundary where the earth's atmosphere is constrained by gravity?

There is no boundary where Earth's atmosphere is constrained by gravity. Many feel that astronauts orbiting above the Earth are weightless because they are far away from Earth's gravity , but weightlessness is actually caused by the free-falling of an object that is in orbit.


How much distance from earth to defy gravity?

It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.


Can vegeta train in 750 times earth gravity?

Vegeta can train in as many times earth gravity as he wants to! Though it may take him a while to work up to some numbers, he'll definitely get there; you can count on it.

Does the sun have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

Far, far stronger at 274.0m/s2earth gravity is 9.78m/s2


what effects how strong earths gravity is?

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

Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?

The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.


Is any planet has greater gravity then earth?

All planets with more mass than earth have more gravity than it. So all of the gas giants have far more gravity than Earth.


Is gravity zero on the Earth?

it depends how far away you are from earth but is still never 0. gravity can be calculated by 32 feet per second squared.


Does earth have the most gravity compared to the other planets?

No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.


How can we end the gravity of the earth?

As far as we know presently, it is utterly impossible to "end" gravity; it is a fundamental property of mass. Anything that has mass has gravity.

Do I weigh more on the moon than I do on earth?

Considerably less because the Moon has far less mass then the Earth hence far weaker gravity.


How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?

well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
