The higher you go the less the gravitational pull. There is more gravity on the seashore than on the top of the Rocky Mountains. For every three meter increase in altitude, there is a one part per million decrease in gravity.

Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, the force of gravity at the top of a mountain near the equator would be less - marginally so! - than the force of gravity at sea level in the Arctic.

The difference would be very small, not noticeable at all. And because you would take your measuring instruments with you to the top of the mountain, you would probably not be able to measure the difference, either. Any mass being measured on a balance beam scale would have both the reference mass and the mass to be measured reduced by the same percentage!

Why is the acceleration on earth different on mars?

The gravitational force between two masses depends on the product of their masses and the distance between their centers. The gravitational acceleration on a planet depends on the planet's mass and the distance of its surface from its center. So if two planets have different masses or different sizes, then you'd naturally expect their gravitational accelerations to be different. No two planets or moons in the solar system have the same mass or the same size, so no two of them have the same gravitational acceleration. Compared to Earth, it's 62% less on Mars, 83% less on the Moon, 10% less on Venus, and 164% more on Jupiter.
