Yes, it is not a constant. The force of gravity is related to the distance from the centre of the earth so that the force of gravity will be slightly reduced at altitudes. Also, the earth is not a perfect sphere - it bulges at the equator and is flatter at the poles. So the force of gravity will be greater at the poles. The force of gravity is also affected by what is under the surface: if standing over dense rocks, the force will be greater. Finally, the force of gravity is also higher after heavy rainfall. [I guess that is because the water fills up all the air gaps in the soil and so increases its density.]
What else can I help you with?
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.
Does the density of the earths atmosphere increase with altitude or decrease?
The density of Earth's atmosphere decreases with altitude. As you move higher up in the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules of gases present, leading to lower density.
Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?
An increase in cloud cover or an increase in atmospheric particulates like aerosols would lead to a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earth's surface by reflecting more sunlight back to space before it can reach the surface.
How do scientists know that earths gravity and magnetism can work through gases solids and liquids?
Scientists know that Earth's gravity and magnetism can work through gases, solids, and liquids because they have observed these effects in various materials and environments. They have conducted experiments and studies to understand the behavior of gravity and magnetism in different mediums and have found consistent results. Additionally, theoretical models and mathematical equations have been developed to explain how gravity and magnetism can act through different states of matter.
What do you call force of gravity on earth?
It's called 'gravity' everywhere on earth... Earths' gravitational pull is the basis for calculating other fields of gravity, with earth gravity being one unit, or 1G.
Does gravity decrease or increase if earths mass doubled?
More mass --> more gravity.
If the universe expands would the earths gravity decrease?
no
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.
Does pressure and temperature increase or decrease with depth below earths surface?
it increases
How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?
You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
When you push up on an object, you are applying an additional force that is opposing gravity, increasing the total force acting on the object, including your weight. When you push down on an object, you are applying a force that opposes gravity and counteracts part of the force of gravity acting on the object, hence reducing the effective weight felt by the object.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
What are the earths main gases?
CO2 O2 Sulfur Nitrogen and Hydrogen. each gas is found in a specific quantity which shouldn't increase or decrease
What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?
The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
