In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions.

- The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.

Where is Earths gravitational field strongest?

Earth's gravitational field is strongest at the surface, near the poles. This is because gravity is directly related to the mass of an object and is strongest closer to the center of the Earth.


What is the earths gravitational field?

All objects within the universe attract all other objects through gravity. as distance increases this attraction lessens to an insignificant amount, however the force is still there. therefore the Earth's gravitational field's range is limitless.


What does the earths gravitational field do?

The Earth's gravitational field pulls objects towards its center, creating the force of gravity that keeps everything on the surface of the Earth and governs the motion of celestial bodies in space. The strength of gravity decreases with distance from the Earth's surface according to the inverse square law.


Is Earth's gravitational field the same as its electromagnetic field?

No. Earth's gravitational field is due to the large mass within it; the electromagnetic field is due to the movement of the metals in its core. There are also the standard differences between a gravitational and an EM field.


What produces the earths gravity?

Earth's gravity is caused by its mass (or rather its energy). Everything that has mass will passively generate a gravitational field, even you and me! (Although we are not by far massive enough for the gravitational attraction between us to be noticeable.) It is not caused by the Earth's magnetic field, or the Earth rotation (in fact the rotation counteracts gravity in some places).

What happens if there is no core and mantle?

the earth will lose it's gravitational field or the crust and the outer core will start to move inwards because of the earths gravitational field


What is the direction of the gravitational field in your classroom?

The direction of the strongest gravitational force in my office is toward the center of the Earth ... the direction I call "down". I don't have a classroom.


What is the gaseous envelope surrounding Earth that is held by Earths gravitational field?

The atmosphere. Is this a trick question?


Intensity of gravitational field of earth is maximum at?

The intensity of the gravitational field of Earth is maximum at its surface, where it is approximately 9.81 m/s². This value decreases as you move further away from the surface of the Earth.


What is the gravitational potential at the center of the earth?

The gravitational potential at the center of the Earth is zero because all the mass of the Earth is above this point, exerting gravitational force in all directions and creating a balanced potential field.


With all the hassle it took to get the Apollo space ship off the earth how did they get it back off the moon?

When the Eagle landed on the moon it was inside its gravitational field and the eagle had just enough thrust to send it out of the moons gravitational field and back in to the Earths gravitational field when they were going back to the Earth.


What is the magnitude of gravitational field at earth's center?

If gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.8Nkg, then at the centre it would be 0Nkg


Why is the gravitational accleration of any object near Earth is the same?

The gravitational acceleration of an object near Earth is the same because it depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from the center of the Earth. This means that all objects experience the same gravitational acceleration, regardless of their mass or composition.


Why can you only see one side of the moon from the earths surface?

because of the earth and moon's magnetic field and gravitational pull
