Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects.

Answer:

Gravitational force can be seen as the pull that the earth has on an piece of matter. Everything on earth has a force acting on it which is gravity. It tries to pull two object closer to each other but never apart. The numerical value for gravitational force is 9.8 m/s^2 for free falling objects
