The answer is that, even though you are small, your mass exerts a force on every piece of the Earth, simultaneously. When you add all those forces together, the sum is 150 lb. So you are pulling up on the Earth exactly as much as the Earth is pulling down on you.

Earth's Gravity: 9.8 m/s²

This results in Earth having a gravitational strength of 9.8 m/s² close to the surface (also known as 1 g), which naturally decreases the farther away one is from the surface. In addition, the force of gravity on Earth actually changes depending on where you're standing on it.

What is the force that tries to pull the rocket back to earth?

The force that tries to pull the rocket back to Earth is gravity. This force is responsible for the rocket's weight and acts in the direction toward the center of the Earth.


Why do you notice the pull of earths gravity but not the pull of the suns gravity?

The center of the sun is very roughly 23,000 times as far from you as the centerof the Earth is.That means that the gravitational force between you and each pellet of mass inthe sun is roughly1/(23,000)2 = 1/(540 million) = 0.00000000185 as much asthe gravitational force between you and each pellet of mass in the Earth.The sun has roughly 333,000 times as much mass as the Earth has. So the totalgravitational force between you and the sun is333,000/(540 million) = 0.000617 as much asthe total gravitational force between you and the Earth.

What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?

The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.


On the earth's surface, how much force does the pull of gravity have on 1 kilogram of mass?

What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?

The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.


Is the force of gravity stronger or weaker on pluto then earth?

Much weaker. Pluto is a dwarf planet and much less massive than earth, so it has lesser granitational force at it's surface.
