What is the number for gravity?

The force of gravity is the weakest at the equator because of the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation and because points on the equator are furthest from the center of the Earth. The force of gravity varies with latitude and increases from about 9.780 m/s 2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s 2 at the poles. read more

A matter of fact, this quantity known as the acceleration of gravity is such an important quantity that physicists have a special symbol to denote it - the symbol g. The numerical value for the acceleration of gravity is most accurately known as 9.8 m/s/s. read more

Best Answer: Gravity is not exactly the same everywhere on Earth. The numbers most often used are 9.8 m/s^2 and 32 ft/s^2. This is approximately what you will get when measuring the weight of a known mass on a calibrated spring scale. read more
