Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
If an airplane flies at an altitude of 8 km above the surface of the earth the force of gravity exerted on the plane is?
9.8m/s
What causes the tunguska explosion?
The explosion is believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5-10 kilometres (3-6 mi) above the Earth's surface.
Does air pressure increase with the altitude?
No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What the height above the surface of the Earth?
altitude

When does altitude occur?
Altitude is a measure of the height of something above sea level, or above some point on Earth's surface.

How far is it to space from earth?
By convention in the aerospace industry, Space is considered to be above an altitude of 100 km from Earth's surface.
What is a measure of height above earth's surface is called?
Its called altitude & measured in m / ft (unit of length)
How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
What is the altitude of cirrocumulus?
Cirrocumulus clouds are very high altitude clouds that form in the troposphere. They form between 16,000 feet and 39,000 feet above the surface of the Earth.

9.8m/s
How much does something weigh 1000 meters above earths surface?
"at an altitude of 400 kilometres (250 miles), equivalent to a typical orbit of the Space Shuttle, gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface" -- Wikipedia: Earth's gravity # Altitude
What is the distance from the earth's statosphere to the earth's surface?
The stratosphere is situated between about 10 km (6 mi) and 50 km (30 mi) altitude above the surface at moderate latitudes, while at the poles it starts at about 8 km (5 mi) altitude.
