Do different masses affect the value of the accelaration due to gravity?

Question

Do different masses affect the value of the accelaration due to gravity?

Answer 1

In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of mass. The Apollo 15 crew proved Galileo was right in an experiment on the Moon:

Now, with that said, you are right in a way, kind of. Since the mass of the Earth is much larger than the mass of the Moon, the acceleration of gravity on Earth is much greater than that on the Moon. About 6 times greater.

Answer 2

it's acceleration"due to gravity" but not "acceleration due to mass".

only weight of body depends on its mass but not acceleration due to gravity.basically it's g=GM/R^2. here M is the mass of the earth but not that of body. as all are constant, g is constant
