No, an object's mass is constant in every elevation. What changes is the object's weight. The force of gravity is inversely dependent on the square of the distance between objects' centers, so in the case of an object being drawn to Earth, the farther the object is, the less it weighs. Because of the Earth's large mass, the weight changes are small on the Earth's surface. Once you send the object on a spaceship, it becomes weightless when it is far enough, still keeping its original mass.

How is plant life related to elevations?

The higher elevated the plant is, the less oxygen it receives. Different plants can tolerate less/more oxygen, which is why different plants exist in different elevations.


Do highland climates change with elevation?

Yes, highland climates change with elevation. As elevation increases, temperatures tend to decrease, leading to cooler temperatures and potentially different precipitation patterns. This results in different climate zones, such as alpine climates at high elevations with colder temperatures and different vegetation types compared to lower elevations.


Would your weight change on mt Everest?

mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere


Does mass change in different amounts of gravity?

No


Go to another planet will your mass change?

Your mass will remain the same regardless of the planet you are on. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. So, your weight will change on a different planet due to differences in gravitational pull, but your mass will stay constant.


How do the atomic mass numbers of different isotopes of an element compare?

The different isotopes have different atomic mass numbers, because the isotope has different numbers of neutrons. The protons and electrons are the same, so the change in mass number is the same as the change in the number of neutrons.


Is the mass of an object different if it is measured in us units and metric units?

The mass would not change, only the numbers describing the amount of mass would change.

How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?

Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.


How shadows change every season?

As the Earth moves around the sun, the sun appears at different elevations in the sky, so your shadow is cast longer, or shorter.


What is the mass of 1 gram of water on the moon?

the mass of one litter of water is 1g and the mass does not change due to different gravity.


What is the importance of the different elevations and depressions in the upper and lower jaw?

The importance of the different elevations and depressions in the upper and lower jaw help it function well. This is because of the space that it provides.
