It changes all the time, as Earth gets closer to, and farther from, the Sun, in its yearly orbit.

How does the tilt of the earth affect Victoria falls?
It doesn't. The falls fall due to gravity. Gravity is the force exerted between the water and the earth. As the relative positions of both are not changing with the tilt of the earth, nothing would change.
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?
yes it would change
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
How do we know there is not another planet in Earth's orbit on the opposite side of the Sun?
Because Earth is not the only planet in the solar system. The gravity of the others would gradually affect such a planet, bringing it into view in no more than about 30 years. Also, it would have gravity of its own, and would have been discovered by the pull it exerted on the rest of the solar system, including Earth!
What do you think would happen to the moon if no force was exerted on it by earth?
Then we would not see the light of the Moon, either - the light we see from the Moon is light it reflects from the Sun.Additionally the moon, together with our Earth would drift through the universe, not bound anymore be the sun's gravity field.
What are the two masses and the one distance that determines your weight?
Your mass, the mass of the Earth, and the distance between you and the earth's center determine the gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth (i.e. your weight).
What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".
What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
If the earth had no gravity it follows that gravity would be absent from any mass. In the absence of gravity life would not exist.
Would your weight change on mt Everest?
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
Would Earth's gravity ever affect Pluto?
No, Earth's gravity would not affect Pluto. However, the suns gravity does.
Can gravity on earth change?
Yes, definitely. If a substantial piece of the Earth were to break off and sail away,then the force of gravity on the surface of the remaining piece would be substantiallyless than it is now.As long as the Earth's mass doesn't change substantially, however, the accelerationof gravity on or near its surface, and therefore the weight of things located in thatneighborhood, doesn't change.
