Is there any meaning of "Weight of the earth"?
If heavier bodies are attracted more strongly by the earth, why don't they fall faster than the lighter bodies?
The earth revolves round the sun because the sun attracts the earth. The sun also attracts the moon and this force is about twice as large as the attraction of the earth on the moon. Why does the moon not revolve round the sun? Or does it?
Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is 10 m s−2 and at the surface of Mars it is 4⋅0 m s−2. A 60 kg passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of the following figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?

Find the acceleration due to gravity of the moon at a point 1000 km above the moon's surface. The mass of the moon is 7.4 × 1022 kg and its radius is 1740 km.
A mass of 6 × 1024 kg (equal to the mass of the earth) is to be compressed in a sphere in such a way that the escape velocity from its surface is 3 × 108 m s−1. What should be the radius of the sphere?
Explain the variation of g with latitude.
Suppose we go 200 km above and below the surface of the Earth, what are the g values at these two points? In which case, is the value of g small?
If both the mass and the radius of the earth decrease by 1%, then the value of acceleration due to gravity will
One can easily weigh the earth by calculating the mass of the earth by using the formula:
