Question

Does a body experience acceleration due to the earth's pull while on its surface

Answer 1

Yes, the body experience acceleration due to gravity due to earth's pull on its surface. The pull from the earth is everywhere and it is always towards the center of the earth. It doesn't matter if you are standing on the surface or you are in the air, the earth will always attract your body towards it center. As you move away from the surface, the pull from the earth will starts to decrease because the gravitational pull is distance dependent.
