Answer:

mark as brainliest

Explanation:

increase the area

Answer 2

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

As you travel away from the Earth's surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases.

For example, an astronaut orbiting the Earth and floating weightlessly in the cabin still has the same mass. If it were possible to put them on scales in that situation they would be the same number of kilograms as they were on Earth. However their weight in Newtons would have reduced.
