Gravitational feild strength is how strongly something pulls an object towards it.
Earth has a higher gravitational feild strenght than the moon: on earth we are pulled down so much that we can jump only for a few seconds; on the moon the time you can jump for is longer as it is pulling you back in with a weaker gravitational feild.
The reason for this difference is mass, the earth has more mass than the moon and so has a bigger gravitational field strength. Bigger planets than earth will have a higher gravitational field strength.
