why is the weight of an object at a high altitude less than its weight at the sea-level

Explanation:
Weight is variable
Since the Earth's attraction decreases as the square of the distance to its center, the weight of an object is slightly smaller at high altitude (e.g., at the top of a mountain) than at sea level, or at the equator than at the poles (because the Earth is slightly bulging).
