in SI units is measured in m/s² (metres per second per second, equivalently written
as m·s−2 or N/kg). It has an approximate value of 9.8 m/s², which means that,
ignoring air resistance, the speed of an object falling freely near the Earth's surface
increases by about 9.8 metres per second every second. This quantity is informally
known as "little g" (contrasted with G, the gravitational constant, known as "big G")
Another way to describe it:
9.81 newtons (2.205 pounds) of force for each kilogram of mass.
the atmosphere if by "surface gravity", you mean the potential energy forced upon us by gravitational pull, then it's joules. If you mean the actual force of the gravity, it's newtons. (also known as our weight.)
On Earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 9.807 newtons (2.205 pounds). By comparison, on the surface of Venus, the same 1 kilogram of mass weighs 8.858 newtons (1.991 pounds). A hefty adult who weighs 200 pounds on earth would weigh 180.65 pounds on Venus.
If an object with a mass of 20 kg is on the surface of the earth or near it, then the object and the earth are attracting each other with a force of 196 newtons (44.1 pounds).
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/sec2 (12.1 ft/sec2). That's about 38% of the acceleration of gravity on the surface of earth. So for every 100 newtons (or 100 pounds) that something weighs on earth, it would weigh about 38 newtons (or 38 pounds) on Mars.
On the moon, the force exerted by 10 newtons would be approximately 1.63 newtons, because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means that objects will weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.
The force of gravity on 1 kilogram of mass on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 newtons.
At the surface, the gravity is about 9.8 Newtons/kg.
1.63 newtons per kilogram. That compares with 9.81 at the Earth's surface.
Standard gravity is measured as 9.8 meters per second squared. This is then multiplied by the mass of something to get the force of gravity on it, which is expressed in Newtons.
That depends on the gravity. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 Newton.
9.8 newtons, down
At the surface, roughly 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) per kilogram of mass.
At the surface, roughly 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) per kilogram of mass.
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of the Earth is 9.81 meters per second2 . That means that the downward force on any object at the surface is 9.81 newtons per kilogram of mass.
273.614 newtons per kilogram. That's 27.9 times its value on the Earth's surface.
On Venus, the acceleration due to gravity is about 8.87 m/s^2. Since weight (in newtons) is equal to mass (in kg) multiplied by acceleration due to gravity, the weight of 1 kg on Venus would be 8.87 newtons.
The force of gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 newtons per kilogram.
