The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration on an object caused by force of gravitation. It means that the earth has a gravitational field that projects all bodies on earth towards its center. The gravity of an object or body of an object is high on earth than at the atmosphere. It has an average of gravitational constant equal to 9.8066 or 9.8 meters per second. In truth, the acceleration of the object depend upon its location, the latitude and altitude, on earth.
