Does an object get lighter the further it is away from earths surface?
Yes. Weight is the gravitational force X the mass of an object. The further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational force. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on top of Mt. Everest.
How much pounds does a kilogram weigh on the surface of earth?

What are some things that aren't true about sunspots?
sunspots move from left to right across the sun's surface. sunspots weigh 3.475 kg
Is air pressure greater at sea level or on top of a mountain?
Air pressure is greater at sea level because there is more air above that is pressing down. Any atmosphere is more dense at the surface of the planet than at locations higher in altitude. (Areas that are lower than sea level will generally have still higher atmospheric pressure.)
Why Would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on earths surface?
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
Why would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on Earth's surface?
