Does mass measurement include the effect of earth's gravitational pull on the object being measured?

Mass is not affected by gravity. When you measure the mass of an object with a balance, you would get the same result under any gravitational conditions except for under micro- or zero gravity, in which case there would be insufficient force to move the balance to equilibrium. If you use a spring balance, you are not getting a true mass measurement, you are getting a weight measurement that is normalized to provide the mass at that particular gravitation.
In a micro- or zero gravity field, you can obtain the mass by measuring the vibration or oscillation of the object (pendulum action).

Earths nearest star radiates what type of energy?
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
What is the importance of knowing the seasons in our place?
Light of day does not effect earths high and low tides, the moon does. The Moon is in the gravitational pull of earths orbit. When the earth turns it pulls the moon slowly. But the moon does get ahead of the earth at some points causing high tide, but when the moon lags behind the earths pull it is low tide.
How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
What are examples of the earths axis?
north pole
What causes saesons?
The earths tilt at its axis
Does a mass measurement include the effect of earths gravitational pull on the object being measured?
Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.

How is pressure measured with a barometer?
by the earths gravitational pull the barometer can measure the amount of air pressure in the air, also because of carbons gases
What is pulling g's?
One G is the gravitational force the earths gravity has. Any other force such as that provided by an airplane in a steep turn can be measured in multiples of that "one G".
What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?
When you get out of earths gravitational pull, you aren't rotating around it like the moon. You are free to float into space.
What is the gravitational pull?
Less than one tenth (1/10) of the earths gravitational pull.
Is there a gravitational force like earths on mars?
yes
How much is earths gravitational pull?
it is 10N/Kg
What is the measure of earths gravitational pull on matter?
WIEGHT
What is earths gravitational force?
9.8 N/kg
When spacecraft goes on moon how it revolves after leaving earths gravitational pull?
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
Who invented the gravity of force?
it was invented by the earths gravitational feild
