I do not think that you are completely understanding gravitational acceleration. It was discovered in 1632 by Galileo galilei that all objectd hit the ground at the same time regardless of their mass. It has been said that he conducted this expiriment by dropping cannon balls of the leaning tower of Pisa. The number 9.8066M/S^2 does not alter on this planet. It is a constant speed per every country.

I will no delete the answer provided above, but understand that the number 9.8006 ms^-2 as the acceleration due to gravity is only true for certain places in the world. Newton's universal law of gravitation states that Ag= G (m1*m2)/r^2 . r is the distance between the two objects, and m1 is the mass of one and m2 is the mass of the second, G is the gravitational constant. Now as to which European cities have exactly 9.80665 ms^-2, I really do not know but you could calculate it by using Newton's law of universal gravitation, where r is the distance from city x to the centre of the earth.

http://mtp.jpl.nasa.gov/notes/altitude/altitude.HTML states that 9.80665 is the gravity at sea level at 45.542 degrees latitude, and one might assume that the definition was intended to be what it is at 45 degrees exactly. I assume what you're really asking is how was 9.80665 chosen, and this should answer that. But anyway, major European cities within a degree of 45N: Bordeaux, Lyon Turin, Milan, Belgrade, Bucharest. Cities along this line of latitude on other continents: Novorossiysk, Krasnodar, Halifax, Green Bay, Minneapolis, Portland. Cities near 45S: Dunedin (NZ). Rawson (Argentina).

How can you measure the distance between two city on a globe?

You can measure the distance between two cities on a globe using a tool called a great circle distance calculator. This tool utilizes the geographical coordinates of the two cities to calculate the shortest distance along the surface of the globe, known as the great circle distance. Alternatively, you can use a string and wrap it around the globe to measure the approximate distance between the two cities.


Why chimney is high?

A factory chimney is high because if it was low all the pollution from it will cover the towns/cities and all the towns/cities will be covered with all the pollution so if its high its just released to the sky so it doesn't harm anyone


What would happen if the mass of a satellite is increased while orbiting earth?

The only way to slow down an orbiting satellite would be to put it into a higher orbit. If you push a satellite backwards (over a certain period of time), it would lose energy, move into a lower orbit, and actually move faster. Of course, if it gets into too low an orbit, it will eventually crash to the Earth's surface.Comments: Actually, many satellites do slow down. That's mainly because of the(very thin) atmosphere many satellites move through, even in orbits a few hundred kilometers above Earth.For example the International Space Station has to regularly use fuel to maintain its correct orbit.Although the mathematics is a bit complicated, a slowing satellite would eventually burn up, probably with bits hitting the ground.


Why are astronomical observatories built way away from towns and cities?

Astronomical observatories are built away from towns and cities to avoid light pollution, which can interfere with observations of celestial objects. Being in remote locations also helps minimize atmospheric disturbances and provides clearer views of the night sky.
