The force of attraction between two bodies is called gravity.

The Earth is acted upon by the gravitation of the Sun,even though it does not fall into the Sun. Why?

Find the weight of an $80\, kg$ man on the surface of the moon. What would be his mass on the Earth and on the moon? $(g_{e} = 9.8\, m s^{-2}, g_{m} = 1.63\, m s^{-2})$

If your weight on the Earth is $450 N$,calculate your weight on planet Mars. (Radius of Mars $= 4.3 \times 10^{6} m$,mass of Mars $= 6 \times 10^{23} kg$ and gravitational constant $G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2} kg^{-2}$). Take acceleration due to gravity on Earth as $10 m s^{-2}$.

$(a)$ Differentiate between $G$ and $g$.
$(b)$ Is the value of $g$ the same everywhere on Earth? Reason out.
