1) Gravitation is the attractive force between any two masses or bodies of matter. The force of gravitation depends on the masses of the bodies and the distance between their centers. 2) Acceleration due to gravity, denoted by g, is the acceleration imparted to objects due to gravitational attraction. On Earth's surface, g is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. 3) The value of g decreases with increasing height and depth from Earth's surface according to mathematical formulas provided in the document. g also decreases slightly from the equator to the poles due to Earth's rotation.
