It doesn't. In fact the case could be made that objects that are located higher (and thus further from the center of the Earth) experience a smaller gravitational pull because they are farther away from the planet.
What is the case often, however, is that objects that fall from higher experience more damage when they reach the ground. This is because gravity accelerates objects constantly when they are falling and higher objects take longer to reach the ground because they are further away, as such they will have been accelerated more and will crash into the Earth with a bigger speed resulting in more damage.

Who discovered gravity How did do it?
I didn't know that Isaac Newton discovered gravity. I thought that he discovered Newtons. Those measures that measure the weight of items. Anyway the guy who discovered gravity, even though I don't know who he is, discovered it when he sitting under the apple tree and an apple fell down, so he investigated it. Answer: Isaac Newton discovered (identified) gravity with the apple falling from the tree.
Would a large book a house a human being or an average size car have the greatest force of gravity to the Earth at its surface?
The forces of gravity that attract the Earth and an object on its surface toward each other are greatest for the object with the greatest mass. Among the items on your list, that's probably the house.
Why do you have poor suction when vacuuming?
Most likely due to one of two reasons: - a blocked tube or the recepticle being full The reason why is because when you vacuum up stuff, there is dust everywhere. the dust gets into the pipes and the suction has to work harder to get to picking up certain items. The bigger and heavier the object is, the harder it is to pick it up.
Does vacuum packing making things lighter?
No, because vacuums only take out the air. The clothes are still affected by gravity and have the same mass. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. The only change is the density due to removed air which can make the items heavier per volume
Why will a boulder and a stone falling from the same height reach the ground at the same time?
the force of gravity acting on both is the same (9.81m/s^2). In the absence of any wind resistance two items dropped from the same height will accelerate at the same rate. There is a video somewhere of a hammer and feather being dropped on the surface of the moon. They fall and hit the surface at the same time due to the moon having no atmosphere. Even though the gravity of the moon is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.
Do bus and truck need to have low or high center of gravity?
It is best to keep the center of gravity low on any road vehicle. This can be done by design, and by loading the heaviest items lowest with lighter items higher up. So to answer your question, they need as low a center of gravity as is physically possible.
Will carrying heavy cargo increase the cars center of gravtiy?
Carrying heavy items can indeed cause an increase in a car's center of gravity. This is particularly true for SUVs, which typically have a higher center of gravity to begin with. To keep the center of gravity as low as possible, load heavy items as low in the chassis as possible, and towards the center of the vehicle. Heavy items should never be carried on a roof or luggage rack.
How does gravity erode?
it pulls down items that erode it...
What type of sediments are carried by gravity?
Items That Have Mass In Them..
How do icegergs move?
theyre floating in the water. waves of energy vibrate the particles of water as they travel, which causes items floating to move
What are the hot air balloon code on Disney superbia?
theyre codes to unlock new items heres 1 wizwd for a wand
Does Target carry Closetmaids?
yes target does sell closetmaids in the store however its not a guarantee that they will have them in stock. theyre located in the home section by the dormatory items.
What does the apple have to do with gravity and the moon?
I believe that Sir Issac Newton saw an apple fall from a tree and this got him thinking about gravity and the relationships of items of different mass.
How do you have a harder attack on adventure quest?
Increase 1 or 2 of these things Str- This is your strength attribute this determines how much you hit you can increase it by using certain items or going to the trainer. Weapon-Goes without speaking the higher lvl you are the better weapons there are.
Gravity Conveyors and Industry?
Gravity converyors are mostly used in the shipping industry where the force of gravity rolls the items down the belt. These conveyors usually offer the most stable form of transport compared to others.
What items do astronauts use to control gravity?
They dont. Gravity cannot be controlled. In sci-fi, sometimes rotation is used to simulate gravity via centrifugal force, but this has never been done.
Why do some people prefer higher priced Items?
Sometimes people prefer higher priced items because they think the higher priced item is better quality. Other times they prefer the higher priced item because they believe its greater cost increases their status.
