Why does your weight decrease the farther away you get from the center of the Earth?

No. Mass is constant. Weight decreases.
My answerNoMass is a measure of how hard a thing is to move (it is measure in pounds or Kilos on the surface of the Earth as @ one Gravity they are equal)
Weight reduces as you move away from the Earth as it depends on Gravity

Using arbitrary figures force (f) = (10 / distance squared)
start with distance = 1, so f = 10
distance = 2, so f = 2.5
distance = 3, so f = 1.11

∙ 13y agoyour weight doesn't change. your weight may look more or less on a scale depending on how further you get from earth, but its only because of gravity.

In what way is gravity reduced with distance from earth?
Each time you double your distance from the center of the earth, the accelerationof gravity, and its force on you (your weight) decrease by 75%.
What mountain whose peak is furthest from the center of the earth?
The mountain peak of Chimborazo is the farthest from the center of the earth. Chimborazo is 2.1 kilometers farther from the Earth's center compared to Everest.
Where does a body have least weight in earth?
Center of earth.
Does your weight increase or decrease on the moon?
Your weight would decrease if you landed on the moon, because the moon's gravitational force is about a sixth of Earth's. That means that your weight would decrease greatly.
As an object gets farther for earth its mass?
the weight decreases and mass stays the same
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
What happens to your weight as you get farther from the center of earth?
As you get farther from the center of Earth, your weight willDECREASE
As you get farther away from the earth what will happen to your weight?
It will steadily decrease as you move farther from the Earth's center of gravity. Eventually one's "Earth weight" can reach zero when the gravity of another body, such as the Moon or Sun, completely counteracts it. *In orbit, or freefall, measured weight is zero. In outer space, objects are always in "microgravity" having imperceptible weight, unless they approach close to another large body.
Why is your weight less on mountains?
Technically, your mass is the same, however, since weight is the force of the attraction of gravity, your weight will be less as you move farther from the center of the Earth.
Where in the world has a gravitational pull that makes you weight different?
At the top of a high mountain, or in an airplane at high altitude, you are farther from the center of the earth,and your weight is less.
In what way is gravity reduced with distance from earth?
Each time you double your distance from the center of the earth, the accelerationof gravity, and its force on you (your weight) decrease by 75%.
What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?
In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.
How does the pull of gravity change when you get farther from the earth?
As you get farther from the Earth, you attract the Earth with less gravitational force, and the Earth attracts you with less gravitational force. The two forces remain equal as they both decrease.
Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
How your weight change if you go higher above the earth?
Your weight is dependent on the force of gravity acting on you. The force of gravity is indirectly proporsionate to the square of the distance between you and the center of earth. Your weight will therefore decrease as you go higher above the earth. Your mass however will stay constant.
What mountain whose peak is furthest from the center of the earth?
The mountain peak of Chimborazo is the farthest from the center of the earth. Chimborazo is 2.1 kilometers farther from the Earth's center compared to Everest.
Where does a body have least weight in earth?
Center of earth.
