Gravity decreases with distance because it follows the inverse square law, which states that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. As you move further from Earth, the distance increases, causing the gravitational force to weaken. Essentially, the farther you are from the mass of the Earth, the less gravitational pull you experience.

How do you loose the gravitational force from body to earth?

Develop an anti-gravity device. The further away you are the less gravity effects you.


When you go up on the elevetor does the gravity fall?

As you move further away from Earth, the strength of gravity becomes less.


Does gravity change as we move away from the earth?

No. Gravity always behaves according to the same formula, introduced by Newton.But the gravitational forces between you and the Earth certainly change when thedistance between you and the Earth's center changes significantly.


Why is there less air pressure on top of a mountain than near an ocean?

Because - the further away from the Earth's surface you go - the less gravity there is to hold the air molecules in place.


Why can people jump further on the moon than on earth?

How does mass and gravity distance effect gravity?

The larger the mass of an object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects. But as the distance from that object becomes greater, the gravitational pull becomes smaller. For example, the sun has a larger mass than the earth, so gravity on the suns surface would be much greater than on earths surface. Also, as you get further and further away from the earth, the less you are influenced by its gravity.


Is gravitational force on hills less than on plane places?

Yes, gravity is lower the further one is away from the centre of the Earth, so it is lower at the top of a hill than the bottom.


How gravity gets less as you move away from a planet?

the further you are the less it gets due to the insrenity between the two synoyns. this is have friction is made.


Why is there less gravity at the top of a mountain?

== == All bodies in space warp space to one degree or another depending on their size and composition....their gravity is directly proportional to the center of their mass ...in other words the closer to its core the stronger the gravity ...conversly the further the weaker (a mountain)


What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?

As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.


How does the curiosity not float away while on Mars?

Just like Earth's gravity holds you to Earth, and doesn't let you float away, Mars, too, has some gravity (less than Earth), which won't simply let objects float away into space.


Would you weigh less on a higher level or lower?

It is true that there is a change in weight the further you go from earth, but comparatively weight at sea level and Mt.Everest is insignificant since the radius of the earth is about 700 times greater than the height of Mt.Everest, therefore the weight would be insignificantly smaller.
