The force of gravity inside a hollow shell is zero, according to an elegant theorem by Isaac newton. Therefore at depth the force of gravity comes only from the sphere which has its radius equal to your distance from the centre.

If the force of gravity increases which measurement will change and how weight decreases mass increases mass decreases weight increases?

If the force of gravity increases, weight will increase because weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. However, mass remains constant as it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with gravity.


How does distance affect gravity?

Gravitational forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the gravitating bodies.


Does gravity increase or decrease with greater distance?

Gravity decreases with greater distance. The force of gravity weakens as you move farther away from the source of the gravitational pull, following an inverse square law.


What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?

Water pressure.


Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?

As you move away from the Earth by distance squared, the force of gravity (weight) decreases. This is because gravity follows an inverse square law, where the force of gravity weakens as the distance between two objects increases.


Why does a star's gravity increase when it gets smaller?

A star's gravity increases when it gets smaller because the mass of the star remains constant while its size decreases. This results in the gravitational force becoming stronger as the distance between objects reduces, following the inverse square law of gravity.


does gravity increases or decreases with height?

It decreases with height.


What happens when pressure decreases?

Air pressure decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. Air, just like any form of matter has mass, and when affected by earth's gravity, weight. The weight of air is pushing down on you with a force of 1 atmosphere at sea level. As you increase elevation the air pressure is reduced because there is less air to push down on you. Just like air, water pressure increases as you increase your depth in it, or any fluid. When air pressure decreases, temperature drops.


When gravity increase when the center of the earth increase?

Gravity increases as you move closer to the center of the Earth due to the concentration of mass in that area. However, once you are inside the Earth, the gravitational force actually decreases as you approach the center because the mass beneath you pulls you in different directions, effectively canceling out. Therefore, while gravity increases with the overall mass of the Earth, it decreases as you move toward the center. The gravitational force is strongest at the surface and decreases to zero at the exact center.
