I have to write a piece about a speech made by an Australian speaker, and he made reference to the "gigaliter."

How much is that in American terms? I've never heard the word before.

Somewhere between the earth and the moon, gravity from these two bodies on a space pod would cancel. Is this location nearer to the earth or to the moon?
2.- SECOND PROBLEM
The earth and the moon are atracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the more massive earth attract the less massive moon with a force that is greater, smaller, or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?.

PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH ANSWER IS FOR WHAT QUESTION
