The first of a two-part series, this 50-60 minute non-narrated interactive lesson is intended to help professionals with basic science background better understand the Earth?s gravity field and what causes its variations. Of particular interest to earth/physical scientists as well as surveying engineers, this lesson covers Newton?s laws with a focus on Earth?s gravity field as it applies to geodesy. After a review of the basics of Newtonian gravitation and gravity, it explores how density, altitude, and latitude affect gravity.
