Because gravitational force is a function of both the masses of the objects, and the distance between the objects that are attracting one another.

If you move to a different spot on earth, Your mass and the earth's mass doesn't change, but the distance between the center of your body and the center of the Earth could change.

So the closer you are to the center of the earth, the greater the gravity. The further away you move from the center of the earth, the weaker the gravity.

So if you are in Death Valley, you would weight slightly more than you would if you were at the top of Mount Whitney.

Does the force of gravity change at various places on earth?

Yes, the force of gravity can vary slightly depending on factors such as altitude and location on Earth's surface. The force of gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the equator due to the shape and rotation of the Earth. Additionally, factors such as topography and density variations in Earth's crust can also cause local variations in gravity.


How do you reduce gravity on an object?

The only way to do that is to physically take it away from the Earth. As long as the object remains on the Earth, you can apply additional forces to it, to combine in various ways with the force of gravity and make the object move as you want it to, but there's nothing you can do to change the force of gravity on it.


Does Earth's gravity change as you get closer to the equator?

no =)


Does the force of gravity change at various times of the day at the same place?

No. Force of gravity is not time dependent. It is proportional to the product of masses of the earth and the matter in question and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the matter.


What can cause the earth to reshape?

Change of gravity pull


If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?

Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.


Is the mass of the body constant at all places in the Earth?

Yes, the mass of a body remains constant at all places on Earth regardless of its location. This is because mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with its location within the Earth's gravitational field.


What correctly places the crust in the order of earth's layers?

Differences in density and gravity.


How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?

Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.


What does gravity Change on the body when you leave Earth?

Because gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and the strength of the force depends on the distance between them. If the Earth is one of the objects and the other one leaves the Earth, then the force of gravity it feels is certainly going to change.


How strong is the Earth's gravity compared to the moon?

you can go places better because it don't have much gravity


Will gravity ever change so it longer holds us?

No gravity cannot change so that it no longer pulls us towards the earth because it is a property of the earth itself. The force of gravity exists between any two masses, even two people, but is much more profound between the earth and us due to the extremely large mass of the earth. Unless the mass of the earth changes, the force of gravity cannot change.
