Follow-up question: does it matter whether I say "Earth's
gravitational field" or "locally measured gravitational field"? For
example, is it appropriate to say the Earth's gravitational field is
zero at the location of the space shuttle orbit?
What name do you give to that part of the" gravitational field"
solely due to the presence of a nearby gravitating object (such as
the Earth)?
I don't know what that "part" is because there is no way of measuring it.
