Explain, what is meant by gravitational field strength?

Difficulty: Easy

Gravitational field strength:

In the gravitational field of the Earth, the gravitational force per unit mass is called the gravitational field strength of the Earth. It is 10 N kg-1 near the surface of the Earth.

The gravitational field becomes weaker and weaker as we got farther and farther away from the Earth. At any place, its value is equal to the value of g at that point.
