The intensity of the gravitational effect generated by this or that object depends, as everyone knows, on the mass of this very object. The more massive an object is in question, the greater the force of gravity it creates. It is believed that our planet, being a rather heavy object, attracts bodies with the same force at any point, but in reality this is not the case.

On Earth, according to the information resource ToDay News Ufa, there are gravitational anomalies, that is, places in which the acceleration of gravity differs from the average for a particular latitude indicator quite significantly. Physicists understand the difference as "rather significant", for example, 0.05%, but this is a very serious value, as for gravity.

People, of course, do not feel such a difference in the gravity of the Earth, but it is perfectly recorded by instruments, thereby allowing them to find gravitational anomalies. What for? According to experts, these anomalies have great commercial potential.

Anomalies, for example, indicate gold, oil, or other valuable resources in a specific area of the planet. This is how it is - gravity. People, as it should be noted, still do not really understand how the force of gravity works.
