What is the relationship between weight of an object and radius of the earth?

Weight is determined by combining Mass and Energy. A scale works by measuring the influence or attraction to the Earth against an object who's weight is already known.

For example: an ounce of gold is measured against the Troy ounce, established thousands of years ago in what then was considered the center of the world (Troy is located near modern-day Istanbul.)

Now, as for the circumference of the Earth… until modern times nobody knew just how big Earth was. Yes, throughout history people postulated, but until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries we had no accurate unit of measurement.

The radius of an object is the distance from the surface of the object to its core.

When it comes to Earth the distance to the core fluctuates. How much is determined upon where you are located. Until 1989, the world believed the farthest away point on Earth from the Core was the top of Mount Everest, at just under 30,000 feet / 8700 m above sea level. But it turns out, based on satellite data, and modern computing, that the Earth has a slight bulge at the equator to the furthest point is somewhere in the Andes mountains of Ecuador.

One thing to note however, is that the varying thickness of the crust of the Earth is tiny. Compared to the whole, the largest mountain ranges could be compared to the ridges of your fingerprints. That's how smooth the Earth appears to be from space.

When astronauts look down from their space crafts, they can't distinguish the height or depth of a landscape. It's insignificant compared to their altitude. From 200 miles up, Earth is a sphere.

Check out this view from ISS Expedition 42:

You can't see stars in this shot because it's daytime and the glare of the lit Earth is too bright. The light blue is where the sea floor is less than 30 meters deep.

The ocean is blue because of the reflection from the sky.

Answer:

The relation b/w weight of an object and the radius of that object is that if radius is greater than the force acting on that object is more and if the radius is smaller then the force acting on it is less.
