Answer:

Weight is a function of the gravitational force between two bodies and is proportional to the distance between the centers of mass. The farther you get from the center of Earth’s gravitational mass, the less you will weigh.

The force exerted on a body is given by the well-known formula: F = G * m1 * m2 / d^2

F (force) = G(gravitational Constant) times the two masses multiplied together and divided by the square of the distance between them.

For convenience, scientists and engineers often combine the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the earth, and the square of the radius of the earth to form the gravitational acceleration, g . On the surface of the earth, its value is 9.8 meters per square second or 32.2 feet per square second.

Weight is mass times gravitational acceleration. W = m * g where g = G * m earth / (d earth)^2

Hence, since the gravitational constant (g) depends on the square of the distance from the center of the earth, the weight of an object decreases with altitude.

Hope this helps!!!
