The use of word gravity here is totally wrong as gravity represents the force of gravity which we denote by symbol g, having an approx. value of 9.8 m/s2.

When two bodies move apart their Gravitational Force reduces..... The Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance b/w their centers.

The force of gravity acting on those two bodies remain same on the earth. and it always acts in the downward direction.........

Please note that force of gravity and Gravitational Force are two different things...

What 2 variables affect gravity?

Gravity is affected by two key variables: mass and distance. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull; this is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. Additionally, the distance between the centers of two masses inversely affects gravity; as the distance increases, the gravitational force decreases. Thus, gravity not only depends on how massive the objects are but also on how far apart they are.


Do only planets exert gravity?

No. Anything with mass exerts a gravitational pull. The strength of that pull is directly proportional to an object's mass and most objects do not have enough mass of their gravity to be noticeable. It starts to become noticeable with objects on the level of large asteroids and comets and small moons. Stars, which are far more massive than planets, have far stronger gravity. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe.


What are some interesting facts about gravity?

-- There is a force of gravity between every two objects in the universe. No two objects can ever be so small or so far apart that the force of gravity between them is zero. There is a force of gravity between a hair on your head and a grain of sand on an asteroid in orbit around a star in the farthest galaxy. -- The force of gravity between two objects depends on the 'product' of their masses (one mass multiplied by the other mass), not on either one alone. -- The force of gravity always works both ways at the same time. You pull the earth with the same amount of force that the earth pulls you. Your weight on the earth is the same as the earth's weight on you.


Is Jupiter have stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

If you could do the measurements at the same distance from both planets, you'd find that the gravitational forces between you and Jupiter would be about 318 times as strong as the forces between you and the Earth.


Why is gravity on earth stronger than gravity on the moon?

Because earth is more massive than the moon. Mass and gravity are positively correlated; the more mass a body has, the stronger its gravity. 1. the earth is larger then the moon and it has electic forces that allow the gravity to be much stronger on the earth then on the moon. 2. the more mass the object has the stronger force of gravity is has 3. if the earth had no gravity there would be no human existence, the moon wouldn't exist and even our plant would exist, the formation of the earth occurred due to the gravitation pull of the magnetic polls on the earth.

What is the measurement of a force of gravity on an objects?

the force of gravity depends on the product of the masses of the objects divided by the square of the distance between the objects. example: if two objects are moved twice as far apart, the gravitational attraction between them will decrease by 2 times 2(a factor of 4)

Is it true that Gravity exists between two objects but only when they?

Yes, gravity exists between two objects regardless of their distance, but its strength diminishes with increasing distance according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. The gravitational force is always present as long as there is mass in the objects, but it becomes less pronounced when the objects are far apart. Essentially, gravity acts continuously, but its effects are more noticeable when the objects are closer together.


Is the force of gravity weaker if two objects are far apart?

Yes, the force of gravity decreases as the distance between two objects increases. This relationship is described by the inverse square law, which states that the force of attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


Does space have more or less gravity than earth?

Space itself does not have gravity, as gravity is a force produced by mass. In space, the gravity experienced depends on the mass of nearby objects, such as planets or stars. If you are far away from any massive objects, you would experience very little gravity, while being close to a massive object would result in stronger gravity.


Is there more gravity in outer space?

It depends on where you are. In most pars of space you are far away from any massive objects, so gravity will be much weaker than it is at Earth's surface. At the height of low Earth orbit, gravity is slightly less than it is at the surface. Only near very massive objects such as giant planets and stars will you experience stronger gravity than on Earth.


What a distance?

Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are
