Does gravity on Earth stays constant regardless of height?. For instance, if a person standing at a mountain would he experiences the same gravity as the person standing on the ground?

As you increase in height, the force of gravity decreases. This is because the further away you are from the Earth's center, the weaker the force of gravity becomes. Therefore, people at higher altitudes experience slightly less gravitational pull compared to those at lower altitudes.
No, the force of gravity varies slightly at different points on Earth's surface. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere and has irregularities in its mass distribution. These irregularities can cause slight variations in the gravitational pull at different locations.
An object's weight is directly affected by altitude. As you move higher up in altitude, the object will weigh slightly less due to the decrease in the force of gravity. However, the change in weight is very small and may not be noticeable for everyday objects.
Yes, gravity is slightly different at different latitudes due to the Earth's rotation. The equator experiences a slightly stronger gravitational pull compared to the poles, as the centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation is greatest at the equator and decreases towards the poles.
Yes, although the change in gravity may be very small, it can still be felt. For example, astronauts in space experience weightlessness due to the lack of gravity, while those on Earth's surface can feel a slight increase in weight when going up a tall building or mountain.
