it is closer to the core so there is less "pull" on the said body.

Is the value of acceleration due to gravity constant?
the acceleration of free fall ,it has a value of 9.8ms-2 ,every objected falling freely under the action of gravity always have this constant speed
How are falling apples and the orbit of the Moon alike?
they are both under the influence of gravity
What will gravity do to a falling object on earth and the moon?
Wow. That is one of the great unanswered questions of Physics. Nobody knows how gravity works. People have, over the centuries, formulated natural laws that describe the behavior of objects under the influence of gravity; Galileo Galilei, Issac Newton, and Albert Einstein for example.Look it up on wikipedia. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/, and search for Gravity.
What is the temperature 2 meters under Earth's surface?
5 million degrees hahaha jks i dont know
Where is Hubble Telescope located?
The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.
What is the acceleration rate for falling objects?
If the objects are under free fall near the surface of the Earth, then they are under uniform acceleration due to gravity whose magnitude is 9.8ms-2 .In general, on the surface of a planet of mass m and radius r the acceleration due to gravity is Gm/r2, where G is Newton's gravitational constant.
Is crust under the surface of the Earth?
the crust is the surface of the earth
What forces in earth help shape earth's surface?
the plates under earth's surface
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?
The center of the Earth.
Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?
They are formed under the earth's surface.
Under what two conditions will you change velocity and thus acceleration or decceleration?
You either increase or decrease the speed
What is the term for melted rock under Earth's surface?
'Magma' is melted rock occurring under the Earth's surface. When it comes up and flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'.
What is under soil?
the surface of the earth
What word means lying under the surface of the earth?
Subterranean is defined as meaning lying under the surface of the earth. An example of this term would a subterranean river that is known to lie completely or almost completely under the surface of the earth.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
