Gravity on Earth is slightly stronger at the poles than at the equator, because

the diameter of the Earth at the equator is larger than the diameter through the

poles. So when you stand at a pole, you're closer to the center of the Earth, and

that's the distance that determines the force of gravity between you and the Earth.

What planet has stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

All of them do. There's no planet where the gravity is the same as on Earth.


If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?

The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.


In an experiment six people at different places around the Earth drop an apple at the same time Which apples will fall to the Earth?

All six apples will fall to the Earth due to the force of gravity acting on them, regardless of the different locations where they were dropped. Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing all objects to accelerate downwards at the same rate.


Name the forces that keeps object attached to earth?

1. Gravity - it keeps objects from getting away from Earth into space. 2. Friction - in most places there's friction which keeps objects from sliding all over Earth.


What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?

GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.

Why gravity is 0 at center of earth?

Same attraction all directions


Could gravity leave the earth?

No. Earth's gravity is a product of its mass, which is a fundamental property of the materials that make it up. The same is true of all objects.


Why doesn't the Sun's gravity pull on objects on earth?

It does. Earth, along with everything on it is pulled toward the sun by gravity. However since they are all pulled in the same direction at the same rate, everything stays on Earth.


Is gravity in the US less than other countries?

No it's all based on the mass of the Earth so it's the same.


Why is gravity is same for all masses on earth?

The acceleration of a falling mass due to gravity is the same for all, but the force ofgravity is definitely not the same on all masses. You may have noticed that differentpeople have different weights.


Why do all objects fall to earth at the same time velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?

All objects fall to Earth at the same velocity under gravity because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This means that regardless of their mass, they will accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, resulting in the same final velocity when they hit the ground.


Does gravity act the same on all objects?

Yes, gravity acts on all objects in the same way, regardless of their mass or composition. All objects fall to Earth at the same rate due to gravity, following the principles of Newton's law of universal gravitation.


Why earth shape is the spherical?

Gravity exhibits equal force on all parts, so the distance from the center is about the same on all parts of earth.


Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?

No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.


Why does earth imparts same acceleration on all bodies?

Earth imparts the same acceleration on all bodies due to the force of gravity, which is proportional to the mass of the body. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is constant (9.81 m/s^2) regardless of the mass of the object, resulting in all objects falling at the same rate in a vacuum.


If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?

The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.
