Yes, gravity gets weaker with distance. According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of gravitational attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
1
. This means that as the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity between them decreases.
The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of an object
5
. It is the point where the entire weight of an object can be considered to act. The center of gravity affects weight because it determines how the weight of an object is distributed. If the center of gravity is closer to one end of an object, that end will be heavier and the weight will be distributed unevenly. This can cause the object to tip over or become unstable. For example, a tall object with a high center of gravity is more likely to tip over than a short object with a low center of gravity.
The Earth's gravitational field extends well into space it does not stop. However, it does weaken as one gets further from the center of the Earth. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body.Gravity does get weaker the further apart the two masses are from each other. Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of separation. As, if two masses had the distance of separation doubled, it would decrease by 1/2^2, or only be 1/4 as strong. Gravity is affected by the size of objects and the distance between objects. A measure of the amount of matter in an object is mass. An object with a greater mass falls faster than an object with a smaller mass. When the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity decreases. Technically speaking, gravity lessens at an altitude of one inch. Well, one centimeter works, too. You see, the farther you get from an object's center of mass, the less its gravity effects you. So every single millimeter you climb through the air, the less you weigh, in theory.Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. The magnitude of this force depends upon the mass of each object and the distance between the centers of the two objects. Mathematically, we say the force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the objects and inversely upon the distance between the objects squared. So, we see that mass and weight are directly proportional to each other for a given gravitational field strength. Consider the case of Earth, the closer an object is to the centre of the earth, the smaller will be r, the greater will be g and thus the greater will be its weight. The weight of an object will change if the object is brought farther away from Earth, or placed on a different planet, since the force of gravity on the object will change. However the mass of the object will remain the same regardless of whether the object is on Earth, in outer space, or on the Moon. On Earth, the weight of the body (like any other object) is given by Newton's laws as mass times gravitational acceleration (w = m * g). That is, the weight of an object is determined by the pull of gravity on it. Because the center of mass is independent of the gravitational field (g), the body remains unaffected by changes in the gravitational field's force. In simple rigid objects with uniform density, the center of mass is located at the center or centric. Actually, gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces. Ordered from strongest to weakest, the forces are 1) the strong nuclear force, 2) the electromagnetic force, 3) the weak nuclear force, and 4) gravity. As suggested by its name, the strong force is the strongest of the fundamental forces. It is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism and 100 trillion trillion trillion times stronger than gravity. However, the strong force only has influence over very, very small distances. The strong nuclear force is the most powerful at short distances, it triumphs over the other forces, causing the two protons to become entangled and form a helium nucleus.
