They are equal. The weight and the earth both attract each other,

with a force of about 9.8 newtons (2.2 pounds).

Everything about the gravitational force between two masses is mutual.

Both of them participate in determining the strength of the force, and

they experience the result equally.

The strength of the force depends on the product of the two masses, and the

distance between the two masses. Then the force acts equally on both of them.

Is that cool or what !

Your weight is a force caused by?

The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.


What is the gravitational attraction of apple on the Earth?

The gravitational attraction of an apple on Earth is approximately 1 Newton, which is equivalent to the weight of the apple. This force is a result of the gravitational pull between the apple and Earth.


Which is greater the attraction of the earth for a kilogram of lead or the attraction of a kilogram of lead for the earth?

The attraction of the Earth for a kilogram of lead is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the attraction of kilogram of lead for the Earth, according to Newton's third law of motion. Both objects experience an equal gravitational force due to their masses.


What is the force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity.?

The force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity is called weight. It is calculated using the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object is proportional to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


The force of gravity on an object is also the objects?

The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.

Would your weight be greater if earth gained mass?

Yes, if Earth gained mass, its gravity would increase, which would make your weight greater because you would experience a stronger gravitational force pulling you towards the center of the Earth.

How much force required to go out of earth gravity?

Any force greater than the weight of the object you're lifting will eventually take it as far away from Earth as you want it to be. But the force of attraction between the Earth and the object is never zero, no matter how far away it goes.


Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?

No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
