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...

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.
How far does gravity extend from the surface of the moon?
There is a force of gravity in both directions between every pair of objects, attracting them toward each other. There's no limit on the distance. There is a force of gravity in both directions between the lint in your pocket and the smallest grain of sand on the beach on the far side of the farthest planet orbiting the farthest star in the farthest galaxy from Earth, attracting them toward each other.
Why is the Moon's gravitational pulling stronger than the sun's gravitational pulling?
It depends on the distance. The only reason that the moon exerts or pulls gravity more is because that the moon is very close to the Earth, while the Sun is very far far away.
Gravity depends on how far -------- andhow -------- the objects are?
Gravity can depend on how far apart and how heavy the objects are.
Is gravity stronger when things are far apart?
true
Is the force of gravity weaker if two objects are far apart?
Yes, and it can be weaker if one or both objects have smaller masses. :)
Does the sun have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Far, far stronger at 274.0m/s2earth gravity is 9.78m/s2
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 gravity apart of photosynthesis?
Not as far as i know.
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.
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
What affects an objects gravity?
The object's mass, and how far you are from its center of mass.
The force of gravity also depends on how close an object is to?
Yes, though the force of gravity extends infinitely, it does attract far objects less than near objects.
How does space have no gravity?
Gravitational pull still acts in space, but when you are in space, you are too far from the earth to feel any of its gravitational force. Gravitational force between two objects depends on their distance from each other and the further two objects are apart, the weaker the force of gravity is. So when we are in space, the earth's gravitational pull is still acting on us, but it is too far away for us to feel it.
