A non-rotating perfect sphere of uniform mass density, or whose density varies solely with distance from the centre (spherical symmetry), would produce a gravitational field of uniform magnitude at all points on its See more

Gravity acceleration is a vector quantity, with direction in addition to magnitude. In a spherically symmetric Earth, gravity would point directly towards the sphere's centre. As the Earth's figure is … See more

Tools exist for calculating the strength of gravity at various cities around the world. The effect of latitude can be clearly seen with gravity in high … See more

If the terrain is at sea level, we can estimate, for the Geodetic Reference System 1980, $${\displaystyle g\{\phi \}}$$, the acceleration at … See more

From the law of universal gravitation, the force on a body acted upon by Earth's gravitational force is given by
where r is the … See more
