Why would you weigh less on a high mountain peak than you would at sea level?

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object's mass. At the top of a mountain, you are slightly farther from the center of the earth, and so the earth's gravity is very slightly weaker. Thus, you weigh a tiny, tiny bit less at the top of the mountain than at sea level.

Why would you weigh less on a high mountain peek and weigh more at sea level?
Newtons Law of gravity. F=Gm1m2/r^2
When a pendulum clock is taken from sea level to the top of a high mountain it will?
..weigh less and the pendulum will swing at a slower rate. It might become more valuable (high mountain areas have less access to fine clocks than many sea level communities).
When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?
it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity
Why is air pressure on a high mountain is less than on the lowland?
air pressure on the high mountain is because air flow is fast or velocity of air is more on the high mountain
How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?
I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.

Why if you climb a very high mountain would you probably weigh a little less than you did at the foot of the mountain?
the less oxygen

How would the period of the simple pendulum be change if the pendulum is moved from the sea level to the top of the high mountain?
It's faster at sea level and slower at the top of a mountain.
What is slightly more difficult to draw soda through a straw at sea level or on top of a high mountain?
high mountain
What mountain is the highest on Earth above sea level and how high is this mountain in meters?
Mount Everest at 8,848meters
Why does the level of oxygen decreases on high mountain?
The level of oxygen decreases on high mountains because it is slightly havier than air.
How does plateau mountain form?
When a dome forms high above sea level
Does a high cholestorol level increase weight?
nope as a matter of fact its easer to loose weigh with high cholestorol.
A natural elevation of earth's surface rising high above the surrounding level?
