1g towards Earth's center. Well, center of mass.

Welllll…combination of that and angular momentum. Combined with the masses of the sun, and the moon, the other planets, and all the other masses of the universe.
Fortunately, orbits factor in, too. Everything that orbits is essentially in free fall, wellll…until they get tooo eliptical and the oscillating accelerations get really noticeable.
And it all affects time. Time is a bunch of wibbly-wobbly…stuff.
