The acceleration of gravity on earth is 9.8m/s2 .
The force on each object depends on the mass of the object.
That's why different people have different weights, and why
most people weigh less than most trucks.
GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.
The force that pushes downward on objects on earth is called gravity.
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity.
Earth has much more mass than a car does. Therefore Earth has much stronger gravity.
The force of gravity on Mars is equal to 3.7m/s2. Mars's force of gravity is therefore 37.8% that of Earth's.

The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.

Earth has a much greater mass than Pluto does, and therefore has stronger gravity.
The force of Earth's gravity keeps our feet firmly on the ground.
Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun.
because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
