There are slight changes such as the poles have a stronger pull than the equator.
Also at higher altitudes the gravity is weaker.
Its all because at higher altitudes you're farther from the center of the earth and due to the slight disc shape of the Earth due to rotation the poles are closer to the center.
Gravity is inversely proportional to (distance from center)^2

∙ 13y agoThere is no place with zero gravity. Wherever you are, there is always a pair of
equal forces between you and every other mass everywhere, drawing the two
of you toward each other. If the nearest mass is small enough, or far enough
away from you, then you may not be aware of the force, and if you're freely
falling toward something else, then you feel no force. But it's always there.
The reason is the property of physical space and mass known as gravity.

∙ 13y agono. Gravity is a constant everywhere in this universe (G = 6.67300 × 10^-11 m^3/ kg s^2). However the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance and directly proportional to both the mass of the object being attracted and the mass of the object attracting (Fg = Gm1m2/r^2), which essentially means the further you are from anything that has mass (ie. earth) the less gravity you feel. Five sixths of the way to the moon there is a famous zone where one experiences 0-Gravity, but this doesn't mean that there isn't any gravity, it means that the total gravity is cancelled out (ie. the moon is pulling on you as hard as the earth is and you don't technically fall anymore)

∙ 14y agoThere is gravity everywhere in space. Gravity obeys the inverse square law, meaning that it drops off very quickly when you're close to its source, and then slowly as you get further away. But it doesn't stop.
If you're wondering how high you have to be to not feel the effects of earth's gravity, it's not that high. As long as you stay in orbit, you won't feel the effects of earth's gravity. Geostationary orbit is at 22,000 miles up, but you can orbit as low as 100 miles if you're going fast enough. Below 100 miles, your orbit would begin to be slowed by the drag of the atmosphere.

And around EVERY massive body. Gravity is the one force we haven't figured out how to mask or reverse.

Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Why does gravity not pull on a space shuddle?
It is farther away from Earth,and gravity can't reach very far.
Where is there no gravity other than the moon?
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
What area marks the boundary where the earth's atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
There is no boundary where Earth's atmosphere is constrained by gravity. Many feel that astronauts orbiting above the Earth are weightless because they are far away from Earth's gravity , but weightlessness is actually caused by the free-falling of an object that is in orbit.
What is the gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Does the sun have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Far, far stronger at 274.0m/s2earth gravity is 9.78m/s2
what effects how strong earths gravity is?
The Earth's mass, and how far you are from the center of the Earth.
Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
Is any planet has greater gravity then earth?
All planets with more mass than earth have more gravity than it. So all of the gas giants have far more gravity than Earth.
Why does gravity not pull on a space shuddle?
It is farther away from Earth,and gravity can't reach very far.
Is gravity zero on the Earth?
it depends how far away you are from earth but is still never 0. gravity can be calculated by 32 feet per second squared.
How can we end the gravity of the earth?
As far as we know presently, it is utterly impossible to "end" gravity; it is a fundamental property of mass. Anything that has mass has gravity.
Does earth have the most gravity compared to the other planets?
No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.
Where is there no gravity other than the moon?
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
Does the Earth have more gravity than Jupiter?
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, has far more gravity than the Earth. Only the Sun has more gravity than Jupiter in our solar system.
Do I weigh more on the moon than I do on earth?
Considerably less because the Moon has far less mass then the Earth hence far weaker gravity.
