Since Gravity can work even over very long distances, it's a non-contact force. If it only worked when touching, it would be an applied (or contact) force.
No, upthrust would not be considered a non-contact force. It would be considered a contact force. It is making contact with an updraft of air.
That means that it acts at a distance.
That means that it acts at a distance.
Weight is another name for the force of gravity between two masses, so it's a non-contact force, like all other manifestations of gravity.
A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar example of a non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. ... Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass.
Gravity is action at a distance, a non contact force

Non-contact. Gravity can effect objects separated by hundreds of millions of light years -- which is why our galaxy is moving towards the Sharpley Super-cluster.
Gravity.
A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. The most common example of a non-contact force is gravity. A non-contact force is different from a contact force, which is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. However it is to be noted that the origin of all contact forces can be traced to non-contact forcesIn physics, a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other. This is distinct from a non-contact force, or action-at-a-distance force (a force that acts over a distance), such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion.

I think its a bit of both but more contact than non- contact.
