the weight of a person decrease when going above the earth surface as our actual weight depends on gravity and when we are going up so we are going out of gravity and so our weight decreases

Answer:
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.
"When you're standing on Earth you experience weight because you've got the ground pushing up against your feet", explains Bell.
