In the theory of relativity, weight depends on the gravitational field in which an object is located. In the presence of a strong gravitational field, such as near a massive body like a planet or a star, weight can vary due to the curvature of spacetime. This effect is described by Einstein's general theory of relativity.

What is the ending of theories of relativity?

The theory of relativity states that motion and gravity can affect the passage of time and the shape of space. It also describes the relationship between energy and mass, summarized by the famous equation E=mc^2.


Does reflexology affect height?

Reflexology does not affect height but could affect weight. Reflexology can release toxins that have built up in the body which might affect weight gain or loss.

How does location affect an objects mass and weight?

Weight is mass x gravity. If an object is placed in a location where there is more gravity, or less, its weight will change accordingly. Its mass will hardly change, except for very slight effects caused by the Special Theory of Relativity (an increase in potential energy implies an increase in mass), but this is only so for an outside observer, and the effect is so small that it can be ignored for most practical purposes.

What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?

More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).
