The speed of gravity can not be measured because it does not move instead it is a field denting space and time
Gravity does not have a speed but at the Earth's surface it produces an acceleration of 9.08 metres per second per second on a falling object. In other words an object that is dropped will after one second be travelling at 9.08 m/s

∙ 12y agoThe circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.
===================================
The response above is loaded with true statements.
Now here's an answer to the question, which inquired
regarding acceleration, not speed:
In the absence of air resistance, any object dropped near the surface of the earth
accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2, regardless
of its size, shape, mass, or composition. That's how gravity works. Any difference is
completely due to air resistance fighting gravity.

Gavity doesn't have speed, it has acceleration.
Acceleration (Gravity) (g) ~ 10 m/s^2
More accurately g = 9.81 m/s^2

An engine with a speed that can escape earth's gravity?
space probe
How is the force of earths gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
When on Earth, you can escape if you move away from the Earth at the "escape" speed. Gravity will slow you down and you will reach zero speed at an infinite distance.
What is the speed of a spacecraft?
To orbit the Earth, a speed of 7.9 kilometers/second is required. To escape Earth's gravity, an initial speed of 11.2 kilometers/second is required. To travel to distant planets, the initial speed must be still higher.
What is the gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
How much distance from earth to defy gravity?
It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.
In order to escape the gravity of earth a space vehicle near earth must have a speed of about?
about 25,000 mph to completely escape earth's gravity
An engine with a speed that can escape earth's gravity?
space probe
Why do you not feel the speed of the Earth revolving around the Sun?
gravity
What is the speed of gravity in Feet per second?
The average speed of gravity on the surface of the Earth is 32.1740 ft/s2 (9.80665 m/s2)
What is Rocket speed per sec to escape from earth gravity?
the rocket speed required to escape out of the earth's gravity is known as escape velocity which is numerically equal to 11.2 km per sec.
What is gravity speed?
Gravity doesn't have speed , it has acceleration. On Earth gravitational acceleration is 9.8 ms^-2. Often approximated to 10 ms^-2
What is the speed of 110 gravity?
Gravity is measured, not in terms of speed, but of acceleration. For example, Earth gravity is 9.8 meters/second2. 110 times that much would be called, informally, "110 g".
How fast is the speed of gravity?
Gravity does not exactly have a speed, but it does cause an acceleration (on Earth) of 9.8 meters per second per second. It is also believed that gravity propagates through space at the speed of light (which is 300,000 kilometers per second).
Why is Jupiter helpful to space missions from earth?
Jupiter's gravity will boost the speed
How can you overcome gravity by leaving earth?
More acceleration against the gravity like rocket does....
What is the maximum possible speed of impact upon the surface of the Earth for a faraway body initially at rest that falls to the Earth by virtue of the Earth's gravity only?
The maximum possible speed is 11.2km/s (25,000 mph), which is the Earth's "escape speed."
What does the word gravity means in science?
It is the atmospheric pressure of the earth pulling all things down but gravity can be overcome with speed and velocity.
