Gravitational field strength (g) is how strongly something pulls an object towards it.
On Earth it is 9.8 (rounded to 10)
Earth has a higher gravitational field strength than the moon. This is because they have different masses, the Earth has more mass than the moon, therefore the Earth has a bigger gravitational field strength than the moon - the bigger the planet/object (as comets and stars can have g too) the bigger the gravitational field strength.
A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Physics specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)
