That isn't exactly how it works.* Gravity works in both directions.

* The Earth is pulled towards the Sun, and the Sun is pulled towards Earth.

* Since the Sun has about 333,000 times the mass of Earth, the effect on the Sun (acceleration) is 1/333,000 times as much as the effect on Earth.

What would the gravity be on a 1 kg block?

That depends on where it is. If it's on the surface of the Earth, then the forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Earth are about 9.807 newtons (2.204 pounds). But if you take the block to the moon's surface, for example, then the forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Moon are about 1.62 newtons (5.84 ounces).


In Which direction does force of gravity work?

In both directions along the line between the centers of the two masses that are being drawn together by gravity.


The mesurement of the force of gravity on an object is the objects?

The magnitude of the equal gravitational forces in both directions between the earth and any object on it is the object's "weight".


When earth revolve around the sun in an orbit is it due the gravitation of sun?

It's due to the forces of gravity in both directions between the Sun and the Earth. Comment: The gravity that matters in this case is the Sun's pull on the Earth. That's what keeps Earth in orbit, combined with the Earth's velocity, at about 90 degrees to the direction of the Sun.


What is the direction of gravity?

The gravitational forces between two objects act in both directions along the line between their centers of mass. In our daily experience, where one of the objects is always the Earth, we call one of those directions "down" and, as relates to the forces of gravity, we ignore the other direction completely.


Who has gravity the earth or moon?

both


How far does gravity extend from the surface of the moon?

There is a force of gravity in both directions between every pair of objects, attracting them toward each other. There's no limit on the distance. There is a force of gravity in both directions between the lint in your pocket and the smallest grain of sand on the beach on the far side of the farthest planet orbiting the farthest star in the farthest galaxy from Earth, attracting them toward each other.


What is the pull of gravity on earth a direct result of?

The force of gravity is mutual between every pair of masses. The strength of the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and it's equal in both directions. The 'pull' toward the earth that you feel is the force of gravity between the earth's mass and your mass. The strength of the pull is proportional to the product of your mass and the earth's mass, and the earth feels the same pull toward you.


Do venus and earth both have gravity?

Yes. All planets have noticeable gravity.


What planet has twice the gravity of earth?

Despite the fact that Uranus has a mass 14.5 times Earth's mass, its surface gravity isless thanEarth's.Jupiter and Neptune both have more "surface gravity" than Earth.


What does the force caused by gravity pulling down on an object cause an object cause an object to have?

The forces of gravity in both directions between the Earth and an object on it are equal,and act in opposite directions. The force from the object toward the Earth is what wecall the object's "weight" on Earth. The other force is so universally ignored that it isalso almost universally misunderstood. It acts in the direction from the Earth towardthe object, it is quite literally the Earth's weight on the object, and it is exactly equalto the other one.


Does human have gravity?

Every object that has mass is attracted to every other object that has mass, because of gravity. Every two objects that have mass are attracted to each other, because of gravity. The earth attracts a person because they both have mass. The force of attraction is called the person's 'weight'. The earth is also attracted to the person with the same amount of force. There is a force of attraction between two people. The force is due to gravity, and it's equal in both directions.
