Detailed Solution

The value of acceleration due to gravity will be maximum on the ground.
We know, acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet is,

g = \frac{G \times M}{R^{2}}

At a height of

h

g = \frac{G \times M}{{(R + h)}^{2}}

It depends on the Universal Gravitation Constant (

G

), the mass of the planet (

M

), and the square of the sum of the height of the point of consideration and the radius of the planet (

R

). Acceleration due to the earth's gravity has a constant value of

9.8 m / s^{2}

on the earth's surface. It is the maximum on the earth's surface and decreases with the increase in altitude.
