why does gravity decrease when rising in elevation?
It should increase as there is more mass beneath you, I thought.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1108850good question. Don't know, you need to ask a Gravitard. 1) Bonus point for coining the term "Gravitard" 2) This tells me that either atomic density under the surface of the Earth is far from uniform (which we know already), and more-dense elements are congealed in certain areas causing gravity peaks and troughs, or 3) That whole "Push gravity" thing might have legs.
