Gravity refers to a force of attraction between the mass of two objects and the distance from the center of masses.

If Objects A&B have the same mass, and C&D have the same mass.
And if the distance between the centers of mass from A to C is the same as from B to D.
Then the force of attraction between the objects due to gravity would be the same no matter what the composition is.

The measure of how hard gravity pulls on an object is what?

This measurement is called weight. Weight is measured in Newtons (N). This is not the weight you refer to in general everyday life, what you are actually referring to is mass. Weight is the amount of force required to support an object against gravity.


What does the gravity of an object depend on?

The gravity of an object depends on its mass and the distance between it and another object. The larger the mass of an object and the closer it is to another object, the stronger the gravitational force between them.


Why do you say the weight is a force?

Weight is determined by mass x acceleration due to gravity. The mass of an object doesn't change; however, the acceleration due to gravity varies depending on the distance from the center of an object. A person weighs less on the top of a mountain than at the bottom of a valley. Gravity depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.


How is gravity different from mass and weight?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass, and gravity is the natural force of attraction between objects with mass. In simple terms, mass is what an object is made of, weight is the force with which it is pulled down by gravity, and gravity is what causes that force.


How much gravity has on an object is its?

The amount of gravity acting on an object is its weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it is directly proportional to the object's mass.

What term is defined as a measure of the pull of gravity of an object?

That quantity is a force, whose magnitude we often refer to as the object's "weight".

What is the gravity of copper?

The gravitational forces associated with an object depend on the object's mass, but they don't depend at all on the substance the object is made of.

What is the object affecting gravity?

Any object with mass affects gravity


Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?

No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.


Does solidity affect the gravity of an object?

If by solidity is meant density then yes - the denser is the matter the object is made of, the more matter there is in a cube of its volume, the more its mass, so the more its gravity. The gravity of two objects towards each other is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.


What does weigh refer to?

Weight is the force with which gravity attracts an object. It can be calculated as weight = mass x gravity; for example, a person with a mass of 100 kg., on Earth (gravity = 9.8 meter per second square), weighs 980 Newton.
