about 9.795m/s2 but
9.8m/s2 is almost always used.
Note: centripetal acceleration (from the earth's spin) cause apparent gravity to be about 0.3% less than actual gravity (about 9.767m/s2) at the equator
you can find the acceleration of gravity on any planet by the equation:
a=G(M/R2) where 'a' is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (about .0000000000667), M is the mass of the earth ( or other planet), and R is the radius of the earth (or other planet)

What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
What is the value of acceleration due to gravity in space?
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of the object toward which you're attracted by gravity, and on your distance from it. There are trillions of different possibilities in space.
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
What is the affect of rotation of the earth on acceleration due to gravity?
Gravity is pretty constant figure anywhere on earth, essentially its dependent on your distance from the center of gravity of the earth, nominally it will produce an acceleration of 9.81((m/s/)/s) at the earths surface. Gravity is dependent on mass and independent of motion , ie mass of earth attracting mass of person , attraction being proportional to total mass of both and distance between their centers of gravity. However , a very small opposing acceleration outwards is experienced because you are rotating about the earths axis (centrifugal action) , its maximum effect is on the equator and zero effect at the poles. this acceleration can be calculated from: a = (v^2)/r where: a = acceleration ((m/s)/s) v = velocity (m/s) r = radius or normal distance from earths axis (m)
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
Why would an object way less at the equator than at the poles?
Not for sure but it seems like there would be more gravity at the equator than at the poles. The earth rotates and creates a centrifugal acceleration at the equator the counters the force of gravity. acceleration due to gravity =GM/R2 acceleration due to rotation =V2/R So gravity at the equator is GM/R2 - V2/R
Where is acceleration due to gravity greater?
Acceleration due to gravity is greater at the surface of the Earth compared to higher altitudes or in outer space. This is because the force of gravity is stronger closer to the center of mass of an object, such as the Earth.
Does gravity have a stronger pull at the eatrh poles then it does on the equator?
no, but the electromagnetic field of the earth does.
What is the magic number for acceleration due to gravity?
It varies depending on your latitude with the equator having a slightly higher acc. due to gravity than the north/south pole . 9.8 m/s^2 is the average for the earth
Acceleration of free fall due to gravity?
The acceleration due to gravity at sea level at the equator is 32.25744 feet/second2 (983.2186 cm/second2)Formula for your own altitude:Acceleration Due to Gravity (cm/s2) at Altitude (h) = Acceleration Due to Gravity (cm/s2) at Sea Level - 0.3086hwhere h is the altitude in kilometers.
What is equivalent of acceleration due to gravity?
acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8ms-2
What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.
Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?
No, acceleration due to gravity does not change the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity in that location. The acceleration due to gravity affects the force with which an object is pulled toward the center of the Earth, leading to its weight.
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
What are the effects of acceleration due to gravity on the time period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum (in seconds) is 2(pi)√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity increases, the period decreases, so the smaller the acceleration due to gravity, the longer the period of the pendulum.
What is the symbol for acceleration due to gravity?
The symbol for acceleration due to gravity is "g."
