Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?

I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.

Do rocks have gravity?
Yes. everything with mass has gravity. Something the size of an everyday rock, though, does not have enough mass for its gravity to be noticeable.
Does the pull of gravity change the length of an object?
Yes, though very slightly. The pull of gravity from the moon on the earth is why we have tides in the ocean. So on the sides of earth closest and farthest from the moon the ocean is stretched, while in the sides that are on either side are shortened.
How is gravity affected by mass?
The greater the gravity, the greater the weight, even though the mass does not physically change. The stronger pull makes it heavier. The mass of something can never change - weight only describes the mass of something under the pull of gravity while mass is constant no matter where.
How much gravity is in water?
There is not a lot of gravity in space, but there is enought to keep the planets in orbit around the Sun.
Is this the definition of refraction- the bending of a wave when it goes though earths mediums?
Yes, Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in speed. For example, a straw in water bends as it goes through the medium of the water, so it may go through any medium which speed changes.
Why does weight on an elevator change though you don't leave earths gravity?
If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.
Which natural process can change the earths surface though glaciers wind and flooding?
Mudslides
Where do volcanoes appear on the earths crust?
Volcanoes ussualy appear near rift zones. They are mostly on tectonic plate boundaries, like the ring of fire. This is not EVERY volcano though.
Does gravity make you fat?
Not really. Eating a high fat diet and not exercising will. Our bodies are suited to Earths gravity, maybe if there was more gravity, we would be shorter and more of a stocky shape. If the gravity was less, then we could get away with being a lot taller. This is more down to the effort required to lift ourselves though and the effort required by the heart to pump blood etc. The higher the gravity the more effort. Our shape wouldn't really change if we visited such planets, but the inhabitants there may have developed different shapes that are related to the strength of gravity.
What are effects of gravity?
Gravity causes older people to shrink. Answer Had to chuckle at the first answer though it is not true. Gravity is that force , said to originate from the center of the earth, which affects everything within its influence by attracting it to the earths center. Luckily we have a hard mantle beneath our feet that prevents this from happening.

What should philosophers study to help them understand how things can persist through time even though they appear to change?
identity and change =))
Does gravity repair the universe?
yes, the gravity is the only major force to regulate the shape and integrity of universe, whenever a slight change in unverse even though negligible like supernova explosion, the gravity does the repair and nutralise.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
What is a land change?
Land formations can change at any time. They are caused by movements in the Earths tectonic plates. Landforms can go from a flat plain to a rough hilly area. It does though take time but can happen.
Can you change were you die to on runescape?
There are one or two quest's which allow you to change where you appear after death, though there arn't many. I know at least one which let's you revive at Falador.
How do you stay on the moon without floating off?
The moon's gravity will hold you on the moon. It is not as strong as that of earth though so you will weigh much less and be able to jump much higher.
