Your weight is the result of the force of gravity. Without gravity you would be weightless and would float away. This does not happen on the top of mountains. Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, your weight is slightly less on top of a mountain, but compared to the diameter of the Earth, mountains are quite small, and the difference in weight is very slight, and would not even be noticed. So yes, you feel gravity on top of a mountain.

Is earth gravity weaker on a top of a mountain?

Earth's gravity will not change normally on the ground, however yes, you will experience a decreased pull at your height, and you weight will also decrease. If you were to go higher, you would feel the gravity even less!


Where do you weigh more at sea level or atop one of the peaks of the Rocky Mountain?

sea level because the closer you get to the center of the earth the more pressure there is and a top a mountain there is less gravity force pulling you down so you feel a lot lighter.


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 are some differences the air at sea level and the air at the top of a mountain?

At the top of the mountain you feel more colder than the normal temperature.


What agent of erosion will move rich soil from the top of a mountain to its base?

Water, Ice and gravity.


Will it be easier to drink out of a straw from on top of a mountain or in new Orleans?

It will be easier to drink out of a straw from the top of a mountain than from New Orleans. This is because gravity has a stronger pull downward at New Orleans.


What flows from a mountain top downward?

Water, such as streams and rivers, flow downward from a mountain top due to gravity. This water can accumulate to form larger bodies of water like lakes and oceans.


Does a man weigh more at the top of mt Everest or at the top base of the mountain?

The base because there is more gravity pulling him down when he is lower.


Why would you weigh less on a high mountain than at sea level?

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object's mass. At the top of a mountain, you are slightly farther from the center of the earth, and so the earth's gravity is very slightly weaker. Thus, you weigh a tiny, tiny bit less at the top of the mountain than at sea level.


Can you feel an earthquake on top of a mountain?

Yes, you can feel an earthquake on top of a mountain. However, the intensity of the shaking may vary depending on the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake and the height of the mountain. Generally, higher elevations can amplify the shaking during an earthquake.


Would you weigh less on a high mountain peak than you would at sea level?

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object's mass. At the top of a mountain, you are slightly farther from the center of the earth, and so the earth's gravity is very slightly weaker. Thus, you weigh a tiny, tiny bit less at the top of the mountain than at sea level.


What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?

The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
