PLS explain why does the value of g decreases with DEPTH?

The mass of these layers are relatively smaller than total mass of earth. Since force due to gravity is proportional to the product of the masses, less force is exerted on you and hence, the value of g decreases.
hope it helps!!

Explanation:
As we know the formula of Relation of Gravity with Depth as .....
●Gravity(at depth d) = g( at equator) x [ 1 - d/R ]
( d = depth and R = radius of earth)
• As " d " increases d/R also increases.
•So,the value that we subtracting from is also decreases....
•Hence the value in the given bracket decreases as depth increases,in this way if gravity decreases as we go down...
