will your weight remain constant as you go above the surface of the earth ?
QGP:
Hey There!! Let me give you a correct and complete answer
First Weight is defined as W = mg,
Here, m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity. So, if we want to see variation in weight, we need to analyze variation in g
Now, Gravitational Acceleration g is defined as g=(GM) / (r^2)
Where G is Universal Gravitational Constant, M is Mass of Earth, and r is distance of object from center of Earth
As you move upwards from surface of Earth, the value of r increases, so value of g decreases. As a result, Weight also decreases as you move above surface of Earth

no.mass is always constant every where but the weight is varied from place to place.like if any object have 6 kg on earth then on moon it became 1 kg.

Mass of a person is constant but the weight is varies to place to place.e.g if we foto moon our weight in 1/6 of earth.....so his represent that our weight varies not mass.
