∙ 11y agoThe weight of a body raised above the Earth's surface equal to its radius will be approximately one-third of its weight on the Earth's surface. This is due to the inverse square law of gravity, where the force of gravity decreases as the distance between two objects increases.
The weight of a body when raised above the Earth to a height equal to its radius will be 1/4 of its weight at the surface of the Earth. This is because the force of gravity decreases with distance from the center of the Earth, following an inverse-square law.
Your weight on Jupiter would be about 2.5 times your weight on Earth due to Jupiter's stronger gravity. This means that if you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh around 375 pounds on Jupiter.
The force exerted by the weight of the air above is called atmospheric pressure. It is the pressure exerted on Earth's surface by the weight of the air in the atmosphere above it.
Yes, pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a point on the Earth's surface. This pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decreasing weight of the air column above.
The weight of an object becomes half at a height where the gravitational force is half of the force on Earth, about 3,578 km above Earth's surface. At this height, the object and Earth are attracted with equal and opposite force.
The weight of a body when raised above the Earth to a height equal to its radius will be 1/4 of its weight at the surface of the Earth. This is because the force of gravity decreases with distance from the center of the Earth, following an inverse-square law.
one-fourth of your weight on earth

The radius of Earth in kilometers is 6400 km.The earth is big in 6400 km in radius above its surface.
Your weight on Jupiter would be about 2.5 times your weight on Earth due to Jupiter's stronger gravity. This means that if you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh around 375 pounds on Jupiter.
The strength of the gravitational forces between two masses decreases as the square of the distance between their centers. The average Earth radius is 6,371 km. 150,000 km is 23.54 times the Earth's radius. So the acceleration of gravity, and hence the weight of an object, is (23.54)^-2 = 0.0018 of its value on the Earth's surface.
Yes, in a way. If the radius of the Earth decreased but it's mass stayed the same, then the forces "pulling" on you (weight) would increase and you would be heavier. If the radius of the Earth increased and the mass stayed the same, then you would be lighter. You would actually weigh less on the top of Mount Everest than on the beach of Honolulu. BTW: This is not a good idea for a weight loss program.
At an altitude above the ground which is equal to the radius of the earth.
The gravitational force between you and the Earth (your "weight") depends on both of the masses . . . the Earth's and yours . . . and on the distance between your centers . . . the Earth's and yours. As soon as you rise from the Earth's surface, your weight begins to decrease, because the distance between you and the Earth's center is increasing. The direct answer to your question is: The gravitational force between you and the Earth begins to diminish at the Earth's surface. The higher off the surface you go, the weaker the gravitational force becomes. In a passenger jet, let's say, cruising at 37,000 ft above the surface, your weight is about 0.46% less than it is when you're on the ground. ========================= [Earth radius/Earth radius plus 37,000 ft]2 = [3,950 miles/3,957 miles]2 = 0.99647
Venus has a radius of about 6,052 kilometers, which is about 95% of Earth's radius.

The force exerted by the weight of the air above is called atmospheric pressure. It is the pressure exerted on Earth's surface by the weight of the air in the atmosphere above it.
