Question

effect of alltitude on gravity

Answer 1

Gravity Changes with Altitude. Gravitychanges with altitude. Thegravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

Answer 2

In addition, gravity is weaker at the equator due to centrifugal forces produced by the planet's rotation. It's also weaker at higher altitudes, further from Earth's centre, such as at the summit of Mount Everest.

A person flying at 30 000 ft above sea level over mountains will feel more gravity than someone at the same elevation but over thesea. However, a person standing on the earth's surface feels less gravity when the elevationis higher.
