The acceleration which is gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented by the letter g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2 (32.1740 ft/s2).[1] However, the actual acceleration of a body in free fall varies with location.

Answer:
The value of acceleration due to gravity(g') decreases with increase altitude.
According to the equation,
g'=g(1-2h/R)
As the value of h(altitude) increases, the value of g' decreases.
