Yes, that's right.
Except instead of calling it "the amount of gravity", it should really be "the force of gravity".
In both cases, the force is 9.8 newtons, which is about the same as 2.2 pounds.
No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.
The force of gravity is stronger between larger masses, and weaker between smaller masses. That's why there's more force between you and the Earth than there is between you and a bowling ball, for example.
The force of gravity between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them. The Earth has a much greater mass than a car, so the force of gravity between you and Earth is greater. Additionally, your distance from the center of the Earth is much smaller compared to your distance from a car, further contributing to the difference in gravitational force.
The amount of attraction depends on the masses involved, and the distance. The distance to the center of the Earth is the same in both cases. The mass of the Earth is also the same. The only thing that varies is the mass of the elephant, versus the mass of the cat.
Weight is what we call the amount of the gravitational force between the Earth and an object on the surface of the Earth. It works both ways. Your weight on the Earth is also the Earth's weight on you.
Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.
The amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and the Earth is determined by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The force of gravity between the two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. Since lead is much less massive than the Earth, the force of gravity between the 1 kg of lead and the Earth will be very small compared to the force of gravity between the Earth and a much larger mass like a person.
The gravity of the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.

Because Earth's gravity is becoming less and less with the larger amount of distance between it and the object.

The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
That depends on the amount of gravity, of course. Weight = mass x gravity. Near the Earth's surface, the value for gravity is approximately 9.8 (meters per square seconds).That depends on the amount of gravity, of course. Weight = mass x gravity.

Near the Earth's surface, the value for gravity is approximately 9.8 (meters per square seconds).
There is gravity on the moon. There is less gravity on the moon than there is on earth, because the moon is smaller than earth. Because the Earth has the mass it has, it has the gravity it has. Because the moon has a lot less mass than the Earth its gravity is about 1/6 the amount of the Earth's gravity.
It is called gravity.
