Do objects become lighter as they get closer to the center of the earth?

Objects masses would not change, but the pull of gravity on an object from another object when the first is inside the other is effectively zero when the inside is at the center of mass of the outer.
If the Earth were a thick walled but hollow sphere, objects would stick (weakly) to the inside surface as well as the outer.

What evidence is there that the gravitational pull also pulls on objects closer to the surface of earth?
the objects fall to the ground
What is it When molecules of a gas draw closer together to become a liquid?
The process by which the molecules of a gas draw closer to become a liquid is called condensation
Which is closer to the equator Orlando US or Brisbane Australia?
Center of Orlando US . . . . . . . . . 28.54° north latitude Center of Brisbane Australia. . . . 27.46° south latitude Of the two, Brisbane Australia is closer to the equator. But not by much.
Why would a arm injury be closer to the shoulder than the elbow?
It would be closer to the shoulder. Proximal means toward the center or midline of the body.
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
The closer an object gets to the center of the earth, the greater the pull of gravity on that object.
When two objects of unequal mass orbit each other where is the center of mass?
In this case, the center of mass will be closer to the object with greater mass.
When a large objectsvmove closer together the force of gravity becomes?
When ANY two objects move closer together, the gravitational forces between them become greater.
If two objects become closer together is the gravitational attraction between them decreased?
No, it is increased. If the separation is halved, the attraction is quadrupled.
What happens at a black hole?
When an object enters a black hole, it starts being stretched. As it moves closer and closer to the center of the black hole, the gravitational pull on the part of the object that is closer to the center becomes more powerful than the gravitation pull on the part of the object that is farther away from the center. The objects keeps on getting stretched until it reaches the center of the black hole. We don't yet know what happens at that point.
You and a friend are playing on a see saw What if your friend is 30 pounds heavier than you are Which one of you should be closer to the center of the plank to balance the see saw. Why?
Wow, you failed physics, didn't you. The heavier person would sit closer to the center so the lighter person would have more leverage

Where would you need lighter clothing central northern Europe?
You would need lighter clothing in central Africa because its closer to the equater and the closer you are, the warmer it is.
The hour hand is always closer to what?
it is closer to the center
1 In what direction do the gravitational forces act?
Gravitational forces are attractive only. They act on a line from the center of mass of one object, to the center of mass of another object, and work to bring the two objects closer together.
How do galaxy rotate?
Each individual object (such as a star) revolves around the galactic center according to the laws of celestial mechanics. As a result, the objects closer to the center of the galaxy take less time for a complete revolution than the objects further out; the galaxy rotation is differential, meaning it does not rotate as if it were a solid object.
Why do telescope in space get a more complete picture of space objects?
Because they are closer to the objects.
What happen to the position of the eyeballs as the objects was moved closer to the subject's eyes?
I'm assuming you are talking about the convergence reflex. If you are, they shifted toward the center of the object to focus and eventually see it.
