How much Newton is gravity?

Answer
Gravity itself isn't measured in Newtons Newtons measure force. The force of gravity (weight) depends on mass. Using the formula F = mg, a 1 kg mass experiences 9.8 Newtons of gravitational force on Earth's surface. A 10 kg object experiences 98 N, a 70 kg person experiences about 686 N, and so on. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.8 m/s², which can also be expressed as 9.8 N/kg, meaning each kilogram of mass experiences 9.8 Newtons of gravitational force.
