An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
For any object that has mass, there is no place on the surface of the Earth where the gravitational force on the object is zero.
Assuming you mean from the center of the Earth: 1/22 = 1/4, that is, 1/4 the gravity at the Earth's surface. If you mean two Earth radii from the surface, then the distance from the Earth's center would be 3 times as much, and the force would be 1/9, compared to the Earth's surface. _______________________________ The force of gravity changes with the reciprocal of the square of the distance. So if the distance is increased by a factor of 2, the force will DECREASE by a factor of two squared, or 4. So, double the distance = one-quarter the force.
Compared to what ? -- Compared to the surface of Mars, it's 43.7% as much. -- Compared to the surface of Pluto, it's 2.8 times as much. -- Compared to the surface of the Earth, it's 16.5% as much.
The force of gravity between the Earth and you or any other object is inverselyproportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the Earth andthe object.On the surface, that distance is the Earth's radius, let's say 3,960 miles on the average.(3,960/4,080)2 = 0.942So your weight at an altitude of 120 miles is about 5.8% less than it is on the surface.
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.

-- the mass of the object -- the distance between the object and the earth's center (or the object's height off the surface)
mass and distance between the object and earth's surface.
Gravitational potential energy.
Azimuth is the distance of a celestial object from the observer who is generally somewhere on the Earth's surface
As an object approaches the Earth's surface, what will its acceleration be?
Approximating Earth as a point object is close enough for most practical purposes. The diameter of Earth is insignificant, compared to the distance to the Sun.
The relative concentration of elements on lunar surface compared to earth's surface is known as regolith.
gravitational potential energy
The gravitational potential energy is equal to U=-GM/r where G is the gravitational constant, M the mass of the object causing the force and r the distance from that object. Near the surface of the earth a good approximation of the potential energy is U=mgh (you can get it using the Taylor series of U=-GM/(R+r) where R is the radius of the earth) where m is the mass of the object the force acts on, g the acceleration due to earth's gravity and h the object's distance from the surface of the earth.
The question doesn't include enough information to make an answer possible.Whenever you talk "relative", you then must specify: relative to what.The weight of an object on the Earth's surface is much smaller than the sameobject's weight on the sun's surface, but much larger than its weight on thesurface of a bowling ball.
