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.

force in horse power for rocket at the time of launching
At which location would an observer find the greatest force due to the earths gravity?
at the poles
Why the moon does not escape from the earth?
They orbit around their common centre of gravity, the orbital radius and velocity of both (centripital force) is exactly enough to overcome the force of gravity between them.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
Compare How does the size of the force exerted by Earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on Earth?
A gravitational force exists between every two mass objects.The force is the same on both objects.
What is the force of attraction that exists between two objects?
The force of Gravity. I thought it was magnetism
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Statements are true about gravity?
Gravity is a force that pulls two objects together. Gravity exists between two objects that have mass. Gravity exists in the whole universe
Is gravity a push or a pull factor?
Gravity is a pull from the earths core. it is known as a "force"
Why isn't there gravity in Australia?
The force of gravity exists all across the Earth's surface.

What force is the attraction that exists between two objects?
Gravity
What is mars gravity force earths gravity equals 1?
No, Its gravity is much lower due to a lower overall mass of the planet. Mars' gravity is about 37.6% of the Earths.
What is the attractive force that exists between all objects?
gravitational force
