Yes, in a way.
If the radius of the Earth decreased but it's mass stayed the same, then the forces "pulling" on you (weight) would increase and you would be heavier.
If the radius of the Earth increased and the mass stayed the same, then you would be lighter.
You would actually weigh less on the top of Mount Everest than on the beach of Honolulu.
BTW: This is not a good idea for a weight loss program.

What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth
What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?
Your weight, caused by the effect of gravity.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
Can you pull the earth?
The force of gravity is a mutual attraction; the Earth pulls on you, and you pull on the Earth. Of course, the effect on you is more noticeable, given the difference in weight.
Mercury's radius is what percent of Jupiter's radius?
Mercury's radius is 0.3825 that of Earth Jupiter's radius is 11.209 that of Earth So: (0.3825/11.209)*100 = 3.41 percent.
How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
What will be the weight of a body it is raised above the earth equal to its radius?
Since the distance from the Earth's center will be doubled, the force or weight will be reduced by a factor of 4.
What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth
What will be the weight of a body if is raised above the earth equal to its radius?
The weight of object will be half of that on the surface of earth.It can be proved with law of universal gravitation
The radius of the earth is about 6370 km A 7420 N spacecraft travels away from earth What is the weight of the spacecraft at a height 6370 km above Earth's surface?
10bls
What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?
Your weight, caused by the effect of gravity.
What factors effect the weight of an object on earth?
Only the object's mass.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
The weight of the body on the surface of the is 250N. calculate its weight at distance equal to half of radius of the earth below the surface of earth. (radius of earth6400km)?
This is hard to calculate precisely, due to the fact that Earth's density increases towards the center. However, you make a simplified calculation, by assuming a uniform density. Just calculate the ratio of the volume (and therefore, of mass) of a sphere which has half the radius of the Earth, and calculate the gravitational attraction (once again, you only need a ratio, compared to the complete Earth) on that object.
What is Venus' radius as compared to the Earth's?
It is about 0.949 times Earth's radius.
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
It will decrease not by much though it is not noticeable compared to the earths radius
The weight of an object varies inversely as the square of the distance from the earth's centre. The radius of the earth is 6400km and an astronaut weighs 90kg. What will he weigh 625km above the earth?
Its kinda easy 6400-90kg=6310 divided by 625= 10.1 The weight of the earth would be around 10.1
