what body of matter exerts the greatest gravitational pull on you?
439802
The greater an object's mass, the greater its gravitational force. The earth has a strong attracting force for objects with smaller mass (including the moon), and the sun has an attracting force on the earth and other planets in our solar system.

Weight always pulls down towards the center of the Earth. Drawing the weight's force on an free body diagram. On a free body diagram, "fbd," weight, "mg," is ALWAYS drawn pulling towards the ground.

One of Sir Isaac Newton's accomplishments established that the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to their masses. All other things being equal, the planet with the strongest pull is the one with the largest mass, which is Jupiter.

Gravity is a force of attraction between objects. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object. When you see or hear the word weight, it usually refers to Earth's gravitational force on an object. But weight can also be a measure of the gravitational force exerted on objects by the moon or other planets.

In short, at the (gravitational, not arithmetical) centre of the Earth a particle would be pulled with equal force in all directions at once. Hence, “zero” gravity.

Gravity is a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other. Anything which has mass also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall.

Importantance of universal law of gravitation. The gravitational force of attraction of the earth binds all terrestrial objects to the Earth. It explains the attractive force between any two objects which have mass. The motion of the planets around the sun.

Objects that are denser have a greater concentration of mass, thus creating a larger gravitational pull than a same-sized object with lower density—i.e., a cubic foot of solid rock will exert a larger pull on its surroundings than a cubic foot of ocean.

The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer.
991896
Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass.
322016
Gravity and weight. All objects with mass have a gravitational field around them. A gravitational field is where a mass experiences a force. All matter has a gravitational field that attracts other objects. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational field will be.
69185
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
925242
The force of gravity is the force objects in space exerts on all other objects and is proportional to both the product of their respective masses and the square of the distance between them. The acceleration of gravity, you are actually supposed to put it as the “acceleration due to gravity”.

Gravitational force is a force exerted by the earth on all objects on it. When a ball is thrown up, it falls to the ground because of gravitational force. The water from a tap always flows downwards because of gravitational force.
396295
The gravitational force between a mass and the Earth is the object's weight. Mass is considered a measure of an object's inertia, and its weight is the force exerted on the object in a gravitational field. On the surface of the Earth, the two forces are related by the acceleration due to gravity: Fg = mg.
1346494
Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the two interacting objects, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The factors G, M, and r are the same for all masses at the surface of the Earth.

The more massive object has more "stuff" for gravity to act on, but because it's more massive, it also takes more to get it to move. The less massive object has less "stuff" for gravity to act on, but is easier to move. The end result is they fall at the same rate.
