* Going by the movies, the planet LV-426 seems to have standard gravity but the novelization and screenplay say it has a diameter of 1,200 km. If this was the case, it would visibly be a BabyPlanet with a ridiculously dense core to generate any kind of gravity. The ''Colonial Marines Technical Manual'' says its gravity is 0.86G and gives it a more realistic diameter of 12,201 km.

* ZigZagged in ''Franchise/MassEffect'': high-gravity planets are acknowledged in the dialogue, e.g. with the elcor species, which is adapted to the extremely high gravity of their home planet. However, no planet you visit in the original trilogy has a gravity that isn't within the 0.9 to 1.1 range of Earth's (unless Earth's moon Luna and the asteroid from [[{{VideoGame/MassEffect1}} the first game]]'s DLC mission "Bring Down The Sky" qualify), and even ''those'' discrepancies have no impact on gameplay or even on animations during [[{{CutScene}} cut scenes]]. ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' does include some real gravitational variation, however -- one of the places you visit has gravity low enough to affect your vehicle's handling, enabling jumps you wouldn't be able to pull of elsewhere.

** The expanded universe says that the Forest Moon of Endor has significantly less gravity to explain giant plants and how Ewok hangliders work in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', though visiting humans seem to walk normly.

* Ego The Living Planet from ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' mentions being the size of Earth's moon but seems to Earth like gravity. He'd have to be extremely dense at that size to have our gravity and atmosphere but his interior is shown to be full of caverns.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Space1889}}'' Mars has .9 gs for some inexplicable reason. Presumably either to explain why it has a breathable atmosphere or to avoid writing up rules for Martian gravity.

** The writers seem to have forgotten that ''Z'' established that the planet Vegeta had 10 times Earth's gravity as ''Anine/DragonBallGT'' has Earth's population temporarily moved to a duplicate planet and ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' has characters with no combat prowess such as, Lemo and Berryblue standing and walking normally.

* Averted in ''Literature/{{Artemis}}'', where the low gravity on the moon is mentioned frequently and occasionally allows maneuvers that wouldn't be possible on Earth. Jazz is also terrified of being caught and deported for this reason; she's lived most of her life on the moon, with the low-gravity biology to match, so if she gets sent to Earth, there's a very real chance the higher gravity would kill her.
* Averted in ''Literature/TheCosmere''. In the short story collection ''Arcanum Unbounded'', which features stories from many of its worlds, quick summaries of the various planets by Khriss before each story mention its gravity when compared to the "Cosmere Standard."
* Averted in ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress,'' which discusses the effects of the different gravities of the earth and the moon on the human body and the difficulty of traveling to the earth after having lived one's entire life on the moon.

* A 2007 TV Commercial for ''FedEx'' is set in a "Moon Office" where the people inside float around in weightlessness, while astronauts outside walk around subject to the expected 1/6-of-earth gravity.

** An advertisement for the Titan Taj Mahal in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIMe2 Me[[superscript:2]] ]]" mentions enjoying Indian cuisine at one fifth Earth's gravity.

* Generally played straight in ''Series/RedDwarf'' even if the world the gang are in is specified to be a moon or an asteroid:

[[folder: Film (Animated)]]
* There's a line in ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' of the population of the Axion being weak from microgravity. The robots move at the same speed on both the spaceship and Earth and the humans struggle to walk in either place due to a lifetime on hovering beds.

[[folder:Film]]

* ''Film/TwoThousandAndOneASpaceOdyssey'' explains gravity on spaceships by [[CentrifugalGravity rotating them]] or having the crew wear velcro shoe but the Moon base seems to have Earth gravity with no explanation.

* Ubiquitous in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' film series.:

* Ubiquitous in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' film series. For example, [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mustafar Mustafar]], where the climax of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' takes place, is six times larger than [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ilum Starkiller Base]] from ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', and yet characters move as freely on Mustafar as they do on Starkiller Base despite the much higher gravity. They're even able to walk just fine on Bespin's Cloud City, despite Bespin being a gas giant whose gravity would realistically have crushed them.

* Any object with the same mass and diameter as Earth would have the same amount of gravitational pull. For example, Venus is the closest object in the Solar System to Earth in terms of mass, so its force of gravity is very similar to Earth's. However [[DeathWorld that's the only thing about it that's similar to Earth]].
