You answer your own question. Gravity is also known as a weak force. It occurs where there is an object with mass. The greater the mass the greater the gravity (G force) Since the moon is 1/6 the size of the earth the gravity is 1/6 the pull, or 1/6 G. Venus is 95% as big as the earth so it's gravity is .95 G. Jupiter is a thousand times bigger in mass, and therefore it is 1KG (1,000 G) force.
1 G is equal to 32.2 feet per second per second. No, I didn't repeat myself, this means that if you fell for 1 second, at the end of the second you would be traveling 32.2 feet per second (almost 22 miles per hour). If you fell for 2 seconds you would have accelerated to 64.4 feet per second.

G- Force is the correct term for gravity. This is the amount of pull that gravity places on an object or the "gravity" of an object.

Gravity is measured in meters per second squared (m/s<2>). Earth's gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s<2>.

(physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface; "the more remote the body the less the gravity"; "the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them"; "gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love"--Albert Einstein

The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton.
