Answer:
In higher altitudes g decreases. Acceleration due to gravity also decreases with depth and it also varies with latitude
Explanation:
Variation of Acceleration due to gravity with height
Here (R + h) is the distance between the object and the centre of earth. Say at that height h, the gravitational acceleration is g1. This gives the formula for g at height h. So as altitude h increases, the value of acceleration due to gravity falls.
