Where is the force of gravity stronger below or above the Earths surface?

I'd assume Yes. It makes sence that the further you get from the earth the lesser it's pull of gravity, although it would be a miniscule difference.
However, the denser gasses that collect within a mile from earth may cancel out this minimal difference or even make it greater.

Height of an object above earths surface?
Altitude. Height. Depends on what you are measuring.
How does gravity affect gases give an example?
Gravity pulls gas to the center of gravity (i.e. the Earth). Less dense gases like helium (in balloons) are displaced by denser gases like oxygen. It also can cause them to be compressed by the gas above, which is what keeps the earths surface pressurized and causes thin air up mountains.
Why all objects above the surface of the earth that are left without support fall down?
because of gravity
If an airplane flies at an altitude of 8 km above the surface of the earth the force of gravity exerted on the plane is?
9.8m/s
Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the Moon's surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earth's surface?
There is less gravity on the Moon. Gravitational potential energy can be calculated by multiplying weight x height, or the equivalent mass x gravity x height.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?
The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons
What is true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earths focus?
The epicenter
What is true about all plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
They form far above the earths surface.
What is the distance above earths surface?
Infinity
Does earth have stronger or weaker gravity than mars?
The gravitational force exerted at the surface (and above the surface) of Mars is weaker than that here on Earth. The reason: Mars has less mass than earth.
How much does something weigh 1000 meters above earths surface?
"at an altitude of 400 kilometres (250 miles), equivalent to a typical orbit of the Space Shuttle, gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface" -- Wikipedia: Earth's gravity # Altitude
How far does the stratosphere extend the earths surface?
30 feet above sea level and 50 feet above earths surface... science homework these days
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
Are gravity pulls stronger or weaker during a spring tide?
gravity is always pretty much the same (9.81 m/s^2 downward acceleration) wherever you are on earth, unless you are several kilometers above or below the surface.
