Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia
The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation (from mass distribution within Earth) and the centrifugal force (from the Earth's rotation).
Where is the lowest gravity on the earth? - Geographic FAQ ...

Sri Lanka Is The Least Down-To-Earth Place In The World
2016年9月2日 · Given that gravity gets weaker the farther you are from the centre of mass, the dip (cyan & blue areas) you see around Sri Lanka highlights its low gravity, as it needs to be ~80m closer to the centre of the Earth to feel the same gravity as other places.
Gravity map reveals Earth's extremes | New Scientist
2013年8月19日 · Mount Nevado Huascarán in Peru has the lowest gravitational acceleration, at 9.7639 m/s 2, while the highest is at the surface of the Arctic Ocean, at 9.8337 m/s 2.
What is the Lowest point of gravity on the Earth map?
2020年3月9日 · One such point of low gravity is found just south of the Indian peninsula, called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). The geoid low spans a vast extent south of the Indian subcontinent, and is dominated by a significant low of minus 106 metres, or roughly 348 feet, south of Sri Lanka.
measurements - Lowest gravity on Earth's surface? - Physics ...
A late 2013 research paper publish on Science Daily by Curtin University mentions that the point on the Earth's surface with the lowest gravity is Mount Huascarán in Peru. The new gravity maps revealed the variations of free-fall gravity over Earth were much bigger than previously thought.
