Yes there is. Weight it is affected by distance form the centre of the earth. Because the world is not a perfect sphere, a man is further from the centre of the earth when he is nearer the equator and so lighter. He is also lighter when he is at a greater altitude.
Weight is also affected by localised masses. If there is a really large lump of metal underneath the man, he will be heavier. Aquifers also affect the weight.

Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
How much difference is there between the astronauts mass on earth and on the moon?
The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.
What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
Why is there a difference between your weight on earth then your weight on the moon?
Mass is a universal unit. It does not change depending on your location because the amount of matter something is made of does not change from location to location. Weight is a much more relative unit. Weight is related to gravity as opposed to the amount of mass making up something. On the moon has approximately 1/6 the gravity of Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 120 pounds on Earth you would weigh 20 pounds on the moon. Because earth's gravitational pull is stronger than the moon's.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
How does the weight of a body vary with its position on earth?
Weight is measure of the product between the body's mass and acceleration due to gravity acting on it. This acceleration due to gravity is different at different locations on earth. And hence is the weight. Poles are said to have higher acceleration of gravity.
How would you weight change on the surface of an earth-sized planet whose mass was greater than Earth's why?
It would be greater in proportion to the difference in mass. The force of gravity is proportional to the product of the 2 masses, and yours didn't change.
Did Japan's earthquake change earth position?
Barely.
Why the polestar position does not change?
but it does as earth's axis tilts.
What is the weight difference on mercury?
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
