No, the force of gravity is not the same everywhere on earth. There are subtle differences between the force of gravity on the surface of the earth depending on location. As the earth is what is called an oblate shperoid with a bit of a bulge around the equator (because of its rotation), the poles are actually a bit closer to the center of gravitation of the earth. That means that, in general, a person would weigh a bit more at the poles than at the equator.

What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
Where is the force of gravity stronger below or above the Earths surface?
I'd assume Yes. It makes sence that the further you get from the earth the lesser it's pull of gravity, although it would be a miniscule difference. However, the denser gasses that collect within a mile from earth may cancel out this minimal difference or even make it greater.
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
When objects free fall near Earth's surface, they experience constant acceleration due to gravity. This means that the objects increase their velocity by the same amount each second while falling. The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
At what height above the earths surface would the value of acceleration due to gravity half of what it is on the surface of the earth?
The acceleration due to gravity decreases with height above the Earth's surface according to the inverse square law. Therefore, at a height of approximately 3186 km above the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity would be half of what it is on the surface. This is known as the point of geosynchronous orbit.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
What is marses gravity compered to earths?
38% on its surface.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
What is the percentage of earths gravity?
The percentage of Earth's gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 16.5%.
What happens to the pull of gravity the farther away you are from earths surface?
The Gravity becomes less
What does the Moon's gravity and earths gravity have in common?
Gravity on the moon has exactly the same characteristics and behavior as it has on Earth and everywhere else. It causes a pair of forces between any two objects, that are proportional to the product of the objects' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Because of the moon's much smaller mass, the force between the moon and an object on its surface is only about 16% as strong as the force between the Earth and the same object when the object is on the Earth's surface.
The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Gravity holds things onto the earths surface true or false?
true
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
Is earths surface shapes mainly by water running downhill?
Because of gravity.
