Yes.
When the distance between the object's centers of mass increases, the force of gravity weakens (this can be measured experimentally on Earth at low elevations and high elevations with a sensitive pendulum and an accurate clock).

Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?
Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
How altitude vary with gravity?
It is the other way round - gravity varies with altitude. In other words, you should consider altitude the independent variable. At a greater altitude, there is less gravitational force. This is explained by the equation - F(g) = G(m1m2)/(r^2) where G = constant, m1 and m2 = mass, F(g) = force due to gravity, and r = distance from center of mass. The altitude difference covered by humans daily (high buildings, hills) makes only a small, probably negligable difference in force due to gravity.
Is altitude affect to specific gravity and density?
no donot affect.
At what altitude does a High-Altitude Burst detonate?
Above 100,000 feet altitude (20 miles).
How much does something weigh 1000 meters above earths surface?
"at an altitude of 400 kilometres (250 miles), equivalent to a typical orbit of the Space Shuttle, gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface" -- Wikipedia: Earth's gravity # Altitude
Is the pressure high or low at high altitude?
it is low. due to gravity
Why air bcomes less dense in altitude?
Because of less gravity in high altitude
Do you weigh more at sea level or high altitude?
At high altitude; you are further away from Earth's centre of mass, so the distance is greater and the force due to gravity is lessened.
How can the weight of an object change when it is moved?
If you are moving at different altitude the gravity will changes and so the weght will changes

How does high altitude air density change when near the equator where there are large temperature and humidity swings?
density changes as the altitude changes.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
Does density of an object change with altitude?
I am assuming that you mean mass of an object. The answer is no, it does not change. Mass (Density) stays the same wherever the object is, only its weight will change if the force of gravity is different.
Why force of attraction is decreased at altitude?
gravity
What is geopotential altitude?
It is a correction/adjustment to Geometric Altitude using variation of gravity with latitude and elevation and hence it is also known as ‘Gravity Adjusted Height’.
