If the Earth would be a perfect sphere, you would experience no gravity in the center because all the mass around you would pull at you with the same strength in all directions, netting you a zero total force.
The center of gravity for a spherical object is located at the exact center of the sphere. This point is equidistant from all points on the surface of the sphere, making it the point where the force of gravity can be considered to act on the object.
At the earth's center, the acceleration/force of gravity is theoretically zero.(At least the force of gravity between the earth and an object at its center. There's still the gravitational forcesbetween the object and everything else ... the sun, moon, stars, etc.)
Acceleration due to gravity is greater at the surface of the Earth compared to higher altitudes or in outer space. This is because the force of gravity is stronger closer to the center of mass of an object, such as the Earth.
Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. This force keeps objects on the Earth's surface by attracting them towards the ground.

An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
Io's surface gravity is about 0.18 g, where Earth's gravity is 1.0 g.
When compared to the surface gravity of Earth, Neptune has approximately 14% more gravitational pull. This is a small difference when compared to other planets in the solar system.
Surface gravity on mars is 0.376 compared to that of the earth.
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO
Compared to what ? -- Compared to the surface of Mars, it's 43.7% as much. -- Compared to the surface of Pluto, it's 2.8 times as much. -- Compared to the surface of the Earth, it's 16.5% as much.
16.55% as strong on the surface.
Mercury has weaker gravity compared to Earth. Its surface gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Uranus has a slightly weaker "surface gravity" compared with the Earth.
The center of gravity for a spherical object is located at the exact center of the sphere. This point is equidistant from all points on the surface of the sphere, making it the point where the force of gravity can be considered to act on the object.
The surface gravity of Pluto's moon Charon is around 0.278m/sec2. Compared with Earth gravity of 9.81 m/sec2, it is around 0.028g or 2.8% of earths gravity.
