New gravity maps revealed the variations of free-fall gravity over Earth were much bigger than previously thought. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

The moon has a surface gravity of around 1.62 meters per second squared, according to NASA. In comparison, the Earth has a surface gravity of approximately 9.8 meters per second squared. Need a break?

On average, the acceleration of an object falling to Earth due to gravity is around 9.8 meters per second squared. But in places with more or less gravity, that acceleration may be slightly different.

However, all is not lost. Their ultra-accurate simulations of the gravity field offer guidance toward a new mathematical foundation of gravity modelling. An upgraded simulator, which accounts for ...

It turns out gravity isn’t the same everywhere, and a European space probe shows us what the Earth would look like if it were: a giant potato in space. The model raises areas of the planet where ...

For example, gravity’s effects on Earth at the equator are different, as the pull is weaker there. Gravity is changing parts of our planet deep within the crust, shaping how the surface looks.

A misshapen globe that looks like a giant potato in space is the best attempt to describe the variation in gravity across the surface of the Earth. The "potato earth" is the work of scientists ...

Published in March 2011 Gravity is still exciting the imagination and leading to bewildering conclusions as it did for Newton. One example: someone traveling by ship from Cape Town, South Africa to ...

The new Earth gravity map, which was unveiled in late March, is the most accurate model of gravity fluctuations around the world. It was recorded by the European Space Agency's GOCE satellite.
