Do you weigh more at different locations on Earth?

Question

Like would you weigh more on a mountain or below sea level?

Answer 1

Yes, off course, but your mass stay same and your weight changes, Weight depends on what height from center of the earth and where like mountains or plains ,since mass has gravity so if you stand on mountain gravity will be stronger.

You can look for gravity map of earth

Tell me if have any more questions

Answer 2

i think so but i know that you can way more or less on different planets because of the gravity

Answer 3

Yes, my weight will present different numbers according to my physical location on the planet, mountain, sea level, etc.  Even so, my mass will remain the same.

Higher than sea level my mass tend to suffer less gravity attraction, so my weight in a scale will show less, but it also would show less as closer to the center of the planet, since in the exact center I will be weightless and floating, if possible.

Answer 4

yes. several factors:

you  weigh less at the equator then you do at the poles, because of centrifugal force.

you weigh less on top of a mountain because you are increasing the distance between you and the center of the earth.

there are masscons around the world, areas where gravity is a bit higher because the material under that spot is of a higher density than average.

Below sea level it gets complicated. You are closer to the center of the earth so gravity should increase, but you are below some of the material, and it's pull is upwards, canceling some of the gravity. On total, I think the gravity is reduced as you go deeper. If you could get to the center of the earth, the gravity would be zero.

Answer 5

Yes - you will be heavier at the north or south poles than you will be at the equator. This is because the acceleration 'g' due to gravity is slightly less at the equator with a value of perhaps 9.78 m/s² but  at the poles it has value of 9.82 m/s² . Since weight depends upon the force of gravity (F = mg) it will vary from place to place on the surface of the earth!

Answer 6

Yes....the further away from the center of gravity, the less you weigh and you would also have to account for the barycenter of the moon acting on the earth's mass.

Answer 7

Yes, it depends on where you are in terms of distance from the center of the earth.

Below sea level, you are closer to the center, so you wiegh more.
