Acceleration due to gravity: The acceleration of an object in free fall is directly proportional to the magnitude of the object's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of a planet or other celestial body. This means that heavier objects experience a greater acceleration than lighter objects, and objects located closer to the center of a body experience a greater acceleration than objects located farther from the center.
Examples:
A 10 kg object on Earth experiences a weight of 9.8 N.
A 10 kg object on the Moon experiences a weight of only 1.6 N.
An object in free fall from a certain height on Earth will experience a greater acceleration than an object in free fall from the same height on the Moon.
An object launched into space will experience a constant acceleration of -9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity
