The Earth's gravity pulling on an object (i.e. its weight) is a force measured in Newtons.
A Newton is the force that will increase the speed of a 1 kg mass by 1 m/s each second. It is the dynamical unit of force, so called because it can be put into Newton's 2nd law, force = mass times acceleration, without any extra constants.
A 1 kg mass dropped out of a window increases its speed by 9.81 m/s each second, so the weight of a 1 kg mass is the mass times the acceleration, 9.81 Newtons.
The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.
Less than one tenth (1/10) of the earths gravitational pull.
Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.
Weight
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
It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.

it is 10N/Kg

the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
Weight is not considered a constant measurement of the amount of matter in an object because weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object, which can vary based on location. The amount of matter in an object is determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of location or gravitational pull.

No. Earths in much more powerful.
well the meteor would be sucked in by the earths gravitational pull
When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.
