No. It decreases with altitude. The acceleration due to gravity is inversly proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the earth. The radius of the Earth is about 6 million meters so you would have to go 100000 m (about 60 miles) up before you saw much of a difference. I think that would give you about 10% decrease. So instead of 9.8 m/ss it would be more like 9 m/ss. That's an estimate. I think I overestimated the decrease in acceleration due to gravity at 100Km up. It looks like its more like 9.5 m/ss rather than 9 m/ss. Since g is proportional to inverse distance from center of earth, squared you can use ratio & proportion as; g/R^2 = g0/R0^2 g = g0 x (R0/R)^2 Where g0 is acceleration at R0 (9.8 at earth's radius 6.37 Million M) and g is acceleration at larger distance R = 6.47 Million M (adding .1 Million M to Earth's radius. g = 9.8 x (6.37/6.47)^2 = 9.8 x .97 = 9.5 m/ss
The acceleration due to gravity at the center of the Earth is zero. This is because the mass of the Earth is evenly distributed around you at the center, pulling on you with equal force in all directions, effectively canceling each other out.
== == 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)
There are NO Constants in the universe.Especially Planck's Constant or the Gravitational Constant.EinsteinGravitydotcom
All objects with mass have gravity, as gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass. However, the strength of gravity can vary depending on the mass of the object and the distance between objects.

No, not all do. The proportionality constants that change the units will have units themselves.
When an object is not accelerating at all. It has constant velocity.
All numbers are constants.
The force of attraction between the Earth and all other particles of matter in its atmosphere. The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s^2. This means that, no matter what the weight of the object is, it accelerates towards the Earth at 9.81 m each second and the Earth 9.81 m towards it.
The derivative of all constants is 0.

Symbolic constants are constants that the programmer has decided to give a symbolic name (usually one with a meaning to make it easy to remember) so he does not have to retype the numeric value every time he needs it and risk making an error. Many coding standards require ALL constants to be symbolic constants, even if only used once in the program.
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.]
