Very strong especially if you are close. Force can be measured in Newtons, and another way of measuring a gravitational field is the acceleration it produces on a mass placed nearby.

The gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface is 9.81 metres per second per second. That is the field everyone feels all the time and if you jump off a wall, a roof or a skyscraper that is how fast you would accelerate downwards.

That force occurs at the surface 6700 km from the Earth's centre. The same force would be felt 119,000 km from Jupiter's centre, nearly 18 times further away.
