More strongly. The reason for this is as follows: 1. Centre of mass Although the mass of any object is spread throughout that object, it seems to be concentrated in one specific point - the centre of mass (used to be called the centre of 'gravity' although that term is misleading). For an object like a guitar where there are more massive bits spread all over it and the main part is light and hollow, finding the centre of mass is difficult. However for a relatively uniform structure like the earth, the centre of mass is concentrated at the centre of the earth. 2. Newton's gravitation law Isaac newton found out that gravity depends upon two things: the masses of the two objects that are involved (e.g. a human and the earth) and the distance between them. He found out that gravity is proportional to the two masses multiplied together, so that as this amount increased, so would the force of gravity between them. Also he found that the nearer the objects were to each other, the more the force. In fact, if two objects were near to each other the force was strong, but it diminished rapidly by a 'square of the distance' if they were parted. This means that if two objects that were originally touching separate by, say, 2 miles, the force of gravity between them diminishes to a fourth (quarter) of its original value (2 x 2). If they separate by 3 miles, the gravity deminishes to just a ninth of its original value (3X3) and so on... separation by just 10 miles would mean gravity diminishing to just a hundredth of its value (10 x 10). So if objects are brought nearer to each other, gravity increases dramatically. Ok. Go back to the earth. As the centre of mass is at the centre of the earth, this is the point from which we can measure as, to an observer, the whole mass seems to be concentrated here. On the surface, let's say gravity is 1 'g'. If we get nearer to this centre of mass i.e. half way towards the centre, the force of gravity will increase dramatically to several 'g's depending upon how near we get to the centre. At the centre, however, gravity will still be acting, but we will not experience a force on us as all the gravitational forces pulling us towards the centre will be balanced and will appear to canceleach other out. Move away from the centre, however, and we will be strongly attracted back.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
How does gravity affect the earths surface?
It makes things weigh more or less, depending on the surface gravity.
Is the pull of earths gravity 3 times stronger then earth?
need to re-word that question... makes no sense
Where is the pull of gravity stronger at the surface of the earth or at the surface at the sun?
the sun because its mass is way bigger than that of earths
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
Where is the force of gravity stronger below or above the Earths surface?
I'd assume Yes. It makes sence that the further you get from the earth the lesser it's pull of gravity, although it would be a miniscule difference. However, the denser gasses that collect within a mile from earth may cancel out this minimal difference or even make it greater.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
Does earths gravity pulls objects toward its center?
Yes, Earth's gravity pulls objects towards its center. The force of gravity between Earth and objects on or near its surface causes everything to be pulled towards the center of the planet.
How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
How many times stronger is Neptune's gravity compared to earth's gravity?
91% of earths gravity.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
